[[[ whether defending the US Constitution against all enemies,     ]]]
[[[ foreign or domestic, requires you to follow Snowden's example. ]]]

I am not sure what the proposal means.  It lists three "parts".
What is the relationship between these parts?  Is the proposal
to implement them all?  Or just some of them?  Why separate these "parts"?

Aside from that, a proposal like this is not sufficient to poll the
users with.  We need to ask them a list of questions.

Ideally we present them some code and ask them to try editing 
with it and without it, and compare.
