I think that that is an excellent idea.
Realistically speaking, I think that the UKB would be the path of
least resistance, at least to start. That way, peer review could
allow for in place modification of the submission until it was
accepted. At that point, the finalized version could be added to the
function definition page.
Otherwise, the function definition page would be a stream of comments
and corrections forcing the reader to scroll and scroll through all
the iterations until the final result was accepted. The UKB has the
advantage of hiding all these iterations.
