2.1 Para 1 sentence 2 -> While we expect that language bindings will, in general, follow that hierarchy for Python it is not useful to do so.
I would argue that usefulness is something to be evaluated by the implementor. I, for one, find inheritance exceedingly useful, also in python ;-)
Omit 2.1 para 3
That is supposed to lead into 2.1.x, so needs at least some replacement.
2.1.1 CAN -> MAY
Hmm, first you state quite strongly that inheritance is not useful, then you discourage the flattening option -- that does not fit? MAY means that this choice needs to be well motivated beyond the arguments in this document (kind of). Fine with me actually, but I think that is not consistent.
2.1.2 Omit last two sentences
The last sentence is repetition, removed - but the sentence before is relevant, no?
2.5 Omit this section - it will be hard to get right and will just cause confusion
I can see that - ok to add is as second appendix?
Appendix A - This should start with an explananation of how to interpret what follows
Makes sense. Thanks, Andre.
I will send comments on the contents of Appendix A as a separate email
