  i wrote it up as a draft spec originally on github - just to have it out there. I'm not asking any change to the protocol, but ideas on how events can be organized and retreived. Its been on github since December, but its gotten way more visibility and feedback here. 
 Cool, I missed it on github then. The spec on wikifreedia seems much more generic than NUDs, almost a competing spec to the wiki one. So maybe it's not as applicable as I thought? 
 Generic is the point, i wouldn't say it competes however. A wiki has a spec for their articles. This spec is attempting to distil ideas individually so they can be worked with an grouped together. It comes with a 30041 which is very related to wikis 30023, but 30041 are just fragmented notes - and wouldn't be typically be shown by themselves. 30041 basically is an indication that it belongs to something broader - you can decompose a existing blog or paper, or you can just publish a modular article with the explicit concept that the ideas can be separated.

You'd show them as a modular article, or note collection, via 30040 which can be a collection of any event type. I wouldn't expect any client other than what we are making to display the individual fragments.
