I don't have time for a long project; I am interested in what seems to
me like the low-hanging fruit of altering the markup on the OSI-approved
version so that when it's copied and pasted, it comes out identically
every time (and does not, for example, require people to insert
replacement bullet characters, or whatever).

Slightly less low-hanging is the idea that the OSI-approved version
could be placeholder-less (and say "copyright holders" instead of
<ORGANIZATION>). But if we can't get agreement on that, we can at least
do the former.
