+- State exact support and limits instead of labels such as "prototype".
+  Keep implemented, tested, and unverified behavior apart.
+- Keep safety requirements and known limits explicit. For example, say

+- Keep compatibility and old-schema details when the code or the

+- Do not remove a warning or claim support only to remove historical

+- Compare claims, examples, paths, and links with the implementation and

+  contain no secrets.
