Note that the current formats use 'point' and 'points'. What you propose is
that everything use only 'points:'. This idea definitely has some merit, and
I currently don't see where it would cause a problem other than accidentally
extended lists.
Now is definitely the time to make the call, and I'm inclined to call it a
'yes'. Any objections?
