Well, I'm not all that experienced, but that won't stop me from
venturing an opinion.

I would like to see more scope for speculative reconstruction in the
SCA, especially in music (that being my main interest).  But I would
rather see people attempting original compositions in period style than
finding excuses to use out-of-period music because there's not enough of
the real stuff.  (And I'd like to see filks banned altogether, but
that's my personal quirk.)
