I also like this basic proposal.
I feel there is good value in indicating to people which documents  
have clearly succeeded, which have clearly failed, and which  
documents are still indeterminate (= the jury is still out). I have  
been asked by employers to prepare documents describing this for  
various protocols in the past.
