The HPF process did not start with a central document.  Various peoples wrote
proposals for various parts of the language design and, after several iterations,
when the number of proposals starting being reasonable and these proposals started
being coherent, they were collated into one document that evolved (mostly by
successive pruning) into a draft. I suppose we can follow the same approach --
with the initial MPI Draft being our first frame of reference.
