+ Debates
+
+ There are several debates within the small-net communities:
+
+
+ Encryption
+
+ - should encryption of communications be mandatory
+ - should encryption of communications be optional
+ - should encryption of communications be prohibited
+
+
+
+ Media
+
+ - should it be text only (for some definition of "text")
+ - should audio be supported
+ - should embedded audio be supported
+ - should images be supported
+ - should embedded images be supported
+ - should video be supported
+ - should embedded videos be supported
+
+
+
+ Old Computers
+
+ - should the default "text" format of a small-net protocol only support the features that the vintage VT05 computer-terminal had — i.e., no blinking, no bolding, no underlining, no reverse text, but also no lower-case letters
+ - should the default "text" format of a small-net protocol only support the features of the ASCII data format
+ - should the default "text" format of a small-net protocol only support the features that are renderable on most of the popular modern computer-terminal-emulators
+ - should we embrace the "best" of old computers without being restricted by (all) their limitations
+
+
+
+ Rich Formatting
+
+ - is 'bolding' a type of punctuation or styling
+ - is 'italicizing' a type of punctuation or styling
+ - is 'underlining' a type of punctuation or styling
+
+
+
+ The Web
+
+ - should a small-net protocol be intentionally incompatible with the Web — except maybe over bridge-proxies
+ - should a small-net protocol be at least minimally compatible with the Web — to make it so people have a "gentle" path to using any small-net
+ - should a small-net HTML make use of Web-components
