Thank you Simon (and Pedro).

Are you inviting comment/suggestions/requests for clarification at this stage?

Definitely! I think the design space should be explored in detail.

There is plenty of prior work/similar ideas to include in the references.

That document is not a paper draft; it's a draft of a design of a new GHC extension.

How's the best way to help? (Without unleashing a maelstrom.)

Perhaps having a wiki page where the problem of OverlappingInstances is discussed, and alternative solutions are proposed, so that at some point we can look at all of them and try to make an informed decision. I think it's good to have a wiki page to guide this sort of email discussion. Cheers, Pedro
