Description

Part of #1006.

Once the prototype at `https://garthdb.github.io/design-data-spec/` is live, fill in an evaluation doc comparing it against the current spec on each of the six decision criteria from #1006.

Conclusion should be one of:
- **(a) Migrate** — adopt Bikeshed as the canonical spec toolchain
- **(b) Cherry-pick** — keep 11ty but adopt specific Bikeshed ideas (dfn autolinking, biblio refs, etc.)
- **(c) Shelve** — current 11ty pipeline is good enough; Bikeshed overhead not worth it

This deliverable drives the final spec tooling decision.

Research direction

Read the six decision criteria in #1006, then inspect the prototype at https://garthdb.github.io/design-data-spec/ and the current 11ty spec. Compare both approaches against every criterion and document whether to migrate, cherry-pick specific ideas, or shelve Bikeshed.
