File Format documents - Orion Pobursky - 2020-06-15
I'm currently cleaning up the code the file format documents to unify the style amongst other things. I may make some minor editorial changes but nothing substantive.
However, are there any objections from the LSB if I fold some of the added changes into the body of the document?
Example:
Official Library Header Specification has 3 appendices. I'd like to fold them into the main document and eliminate the appendices. The revision history will be listed at the top of the document.
Additionally, this document: Official Library Policy On Embedding POV-Ray Code can be cancelled and archived since the POV metas are already disallowed in the File Format Restrictions for the Official Library

I'm OK with it. Note that the header spec has 5 appendices, even though only 3 are in the TOC.
I think if you find things that are contradictory (like the embedded POV document), then it's probably ok to get rid of the older information, although it's probably good to be cautious.
