Thread:History section in proposal pages (1)

I'd like to discuss adding a "summary of history" section into the proposal pages. This would be especially useful in bringing together all the involved information, like discussion group posts, as well as providing a brief summary of how a proposal has evolved without having to read through the whole page or study the diffs.

Below are two examples of what the section would look like, using Capitals in titles as an example. The first is an example of what a SoH section would look like around the time of the suggestion's inception, and the second is what a SoH would look like after the guideline had been in existence for some time.

Notice that links to google discussions and the diffs from histories of pages that had relevant content at one point in time.
