Sure. Let's bite the bullet.

No, because users know nothing about our state of development.
David, can you produce patches -- by yourself -- that fix the
title-markup-spacing thing within a month ? If yes, then I'm ok
with rejecting Mark's patch. If no, then I say we accept the
patch and move on with life.

Yes, they are. I expect that they'll be addressed in GLISS 2.

Syntax changes always cause wars.

... after the second alpha test of a stable release, and a month
or two before a comprehensive review of all our syntax which has
been planned for years?
I say we should push your patch, get 2.14 out the door, and start
GLISS.
