Or there may be an easier or quicker way to accomplish the same result.

Very nice, Peter!
(Spitballing): "You might leave this 'Suggested Rendering' section blank, you might contribute suggestions here which voice your thoughts. allowing other participants to constructively comment. Perhaps what emerges are misunderstandings of what it takes to render (this does happen), perhaps there is another (easier or quicker) way a renderer might accomplish this. "While thoughtful contributions of suggestions and ideas that consider impact, usability and backward compatibility are welcome here, decisions of "how to render this?" are ultimately up to renderer authors."
Let's include, additional associated, more-minor stuff, like "don't-let-this-affect-your-Approve-or-Oppose-vote," important enough to mention as to how consumers of the Proposal should behave with these. We seem to be sharpening focus.
