I like this as a minimal discussion, I'm just really worried about time!
I also like your suggestion about building in support for boundary
delimiters as part of the guidelines. It seems to me to be on par with
Conal and Dot's work on facsimiles.

Is an approach perhaps to treat this like the physical bibliography. as
a module that was simply not ready for the release but is clearly
coming? We've only got 30 days and I think this might be some big work.
