...
* Changed the "PEP Template" section to "PEP Formats and Templates",
in which plaintext and reStructuredText PEPs are described.
* Added "PEP Header Preamble" heading, for the RFC 2822 header
description.
- Rearranged some descriptions to match the header order.
- Removed the colons from header field names (e.g., "the Author
header").
- Added a description of the Content-Type header.
* Moved the plaintext-PEP-specific "PEP Formatting Requirements"
section to PEP 9. PEP 1 now deals only with content, not format.
* Minor edits, including:
- Capitalized "Standards Track" and "Informational" throughout.
- In "it's not like such decisions can be reversed", "can" should be
"can't"; fixed.

Remove Barry's & Jeremy's email address from the Authors: header (note

to other PEP authors -- it is okay now to omit your email address from
this header, although we will be obscuring it soon).
Also, use peps@python.org as the PEP editor contact address instead of
Barry's personal address.
Remove Guido's email address.
Other updates explaining where address obscuring takes place and where
it doesn't.
Updated the Emacs file local variable section.
