Sounds great.
The Packaging Committee is looking forward to your PR ;)
I've not written up changes for unified specs yet, but the existing
docs were kind of crufty in many ways, so I've sent a preparatory
PR to clean them up. I don't think there is going to be anything
especially surprising in these changes:

once that's out of the way I'll aim to send a PR for the unified
specs changes, which will be the more interesting changes.
With regards,
Daniel
