For anyone who isn't following the issue: A PEP proposing a different DSL will be forthcoming either this or next weekend.

If the two proposals share at least the motivation, would it not be more constructive to just have them listed as alternatives in a single PEP? This could serve as a useful single source of information for the new proposed features.

I find PEPs that propose multiple alternatives hard to read. My PEP won't be short: It will contain a token specifications, a yacc grammar and an attempt to specify the semantics of the DSL.
