Neaaaarrlllly there now... Changes:
* Due to overwhelming demand (it's the thing in this GLEP that has
generated least contention!), spaces are not allowed in repository
names.
* Colons aren't allowed in repository or file names either, since
they're not going to be allowed in package names (see previous
discussion).
* News item signing is now mandatory ('must' rather than 'should').
Keychain, format / strength etc. are left for those doing the signing
work to decide.
* Clarified Revision: wording.
* Clarified Display-If-Installed: wording.
* Removed "can be sent to -core" note. If it's ever necessary, the
people handling it should have enough sense to do what's right.
* Added "frequency of news updates syncing is unspecified" note.
* Added permissions note.
* Removed --ask message, apparently it's superfluous.
* Added "the package manager doesn't need to know about the news
client" note.
* Clarified .skip wording.
* Couple of minor typo fixes.
A rendered version will show up on the web in an hour or three.
I might end up being offline over the weekend (and possibly for a while
after that too...), but I'll get around to any feedback as soon as I
can...
