Gale, you are our search-engine-extraordinaire! Thanks for pointing  
out that item.

I've been thinking of a wiki proposal page but was unsure of how to  
create it. It seems I'd have to first make a user page for myself then  
create the link to the Proposal page on my user page? If this is  
appropriate I'll go ahead and do it.

I have other ideas for making labels more useful, and a wiki page  
would be the place to lay those out.
