DP23 - Universal Participation & Linguistic Interoperability

Heads-up: a structure bundle for DP23 is on the Review tab A new bundle on the Review tab tidies up the end of DP23 so it follows the same section layout as the other chapters. It only moves and renumbers sections; apart from two linking sentences, no wording changes. What it does: §25 Strong DP23 Alignment → §24.9 and §26 Failure Conditions → §24.10. Both now sit inside Minimum DP23 Alignment, so the whole bar for alignment (minimum, strong, and when not to claim it) is in one place. §27 Initial Implementation Path → §20.12 "Phased implementation path", under Implementation Patterns. The five phases become 20.12.1–20.12.5. §20's opening sentence now points to 20.12 instead of "the phased rollout described later in this draft". §28 Proposed Constitutional Statement → the closing lines of Closing Orientation, introduced by one new line: "DP23 proposes this statement for the Meta-Layer's constitution:". The quote itself is unchanged. Renumbering: Open Questions §29 → §25, Path Toward ML-RFC §30 → §26, Closing Orientation §31 → §27. Heading: "(Non-Normative)" comes off "Minimum DP23 Alignment". That section holds the chapter's requirements, so the label contradicted it. Why: every chapter ends with the same six closing sections, so a reader who knows one chapter can find their way in any other. In DP23, four extra sections had grown in among them. What it means for you: One approval applies every edit. If you disagree with any part, decline it with a note, and a corrected bundle will follow. The three open DP23 proposals (in §1, §2 and §4.1.4) are not affected. If you cite DP23 section numbers elsewhere, §25–31 change as listed above.
