Recording declined proposals is what keeps people proposing. A suggestion that vanishes silently teaches everyone not to bother.
It also prevents the same idea being reconsidered from scratch every eighteen months.

Each attribute is one of the framework’s shared types. What a date is, and how it is written, is defined once for the whole model — the note here says what it means in this particular place.
