I don't think it's a bad idea, because it's not. I just wanted to
document that it would be a lot of work touching multiple components, that
isn't currently planned.
The PT interface should handle designs where the `Bridge` directive is
essentially meaningless better than it currently does, but PTs that work
that way didn't exist till well after the PT design was done. There's
been a few attempts at redoing the PT interface to be "better", AFAIK none
of the redesign efforts really addressed this either.
