Incubating
Incubating Specs¶
This folder holds ad-hoc specifications that are being formalized but are not yet
stable enough to be normative in specs/portolan/. They range from
requirements whose exact encoding is still settling to whole areas (like point
clouds) that are waiting on a reference implementation.
Content here is not part of the conformance surface for the current Portolan
version. When a topic stabilizes, it graduates into core.md or formats.md and
its incubating doc is removed. Debate happens in GitHub issues and PRs.
