First-class limits

Also called Limits are content.

Limits given a designed slot in the artifact rather than a footnote at its edge, so an author must fill the slot or leave a visible hole. The move relocates the honesty of a document from a property of whoever wrote it to a property of the form everyone writes in, which is the version that survives a tired author under a deadline.
