  - provide for a framework for introducing additional directives into the system, even from different namespace
- - existing directives must not be overridden, nor replaced, alternate versions have to be placed in a different namespace
+ - TODO existing directives may be overridden, i.e. alternate versions will simply replace existing directives from a different library
+   - might require some configuration by the user for choosing the correct implementation, if multiple such replacements are available
  - zero configuration effort by the user
    - detection of available directives libraries is via the [genshi.libraries.directives] entry point

  - api for programmatically adding new directives libraries (similar to the current concept of pluggable !DirectiveFactory's)
  - extended text based templates, see [wiki:WorkInProgress/PluggableDirectivesLibraries/TextTemplates]
- - process all directives in document order dependent rather than by an order that is defined in-source
-   - this allows for adding new directives to existing directive namespaces without the user having to figure out a
-     proper execution priority
+ - execution order of directives must be redefined so that directives defined by third party libraries will be executed in the correct order, and if a given directive does not impose any restrictions on its execution order, then it will be executed in document order
+   - this allows for adding new directives to existing directive namespaces
    - this seems more natural since we are not dealing with operators here and as it is also found in common programming
      languages where the in-source order of statements is the normally the same order that they are executed in
-   - NOTE: this might break existing templates which rely on the previous ordering imposed by genshi
 
 == Current Development State ==
 
- - still in early design/prototyping phase
+ - currently in early alpha phase (existing test cases do not break and performance is similar to standard genshi)
