Hi Rob,

Those two sound great.  The basic descriptions plus use cases would help
a lot.  Also, if there's any GUI elements you foresee (e.g. configure
screens for displayconfig-gtk), then rough mockups (in Gimp, Inkscape or
even just scanned-in hand sketches) would be immensely valuable.  Yes, I
generally can take care of fleshing in the implementation sections.

Take a look at the DisplayConfigGtk spec too; it was especially well
done I thought.
