I have a (hopefully final) reroll planned that takes your
documentation suggestions. I think it reads a lot better with those, so
thanks!

I also noted your distaste for the `discovery.*` namespace (fair
enough). To avoid a reroll-of-the-reroll, I was hoping that we could
agree on something on-list (thread here [1]) before I send out the next
version.
