TODO: A series of guidelines of how changes are proposed, reviewed, and accepted.

### Addition of a New Feature or Column

When a new feature or column is introduced to the FOCUS specification, depending on the circumstances of the change, the support of the column may be initially optional. This is to allow for the adoption of a new feature or columne by prodivers that support it, without restricting other adopters from using newer versions of the specification.
- The feature or item addition is proposed, which, in addition to the proposed specification change, includes the appropriate indication as to the optionality of the feature or column. ??Do we require a future optionality is solidified version??
