I've submitted my latest changes that I believe address the concerns brought up since I last emailed the list. Until they are in CVS and on the standard PEP page, it can be found here: http://josiahcarlson.no-ip.org/pep-0326.html
The major change of note: it is no longer a builtin.
My only comment on the changes: I definitely do not approve of the use of the abbreviations "hi" and "lo" in place of standard English "high" and "low"--human parsing of "hi" and "lo" depends upon a familiarity with English which many people in this world do not possess. In my book, three characters of extra typing are more than offset by the improved accessibility.
As far as the whole PEP, I'm +0. I'd never use it.
Fighting unnecessary abbreviations wherever they are found,
