I suggest that Boost adopt a convention for the documentation of 
libraries that are in the formally proposed or trial balloon state.

It seems like a good idea to have an alternate set of identifiers, 
perhaps an alternate BoostBook stylesheet, macros, etc. that library 
authors can use when developing libraries that they think they might 
want to submit. A set of guidelines that would make it easy for an 
author to put together everything for a well-integrated submission 
without it looking like he's representing his library as an official 
Boost project.

Then it can be just a few search-and-replace operations away from 
official once the library is accepted.
