Since it may further this discussion it appears that someone is hosting a dndnext playtest document right now . I stumbled on it Googling for info.
Three things that stuck out to me as Monk player:
1. Monk abilities worked without Ki but could be enhanced by spending Ki. This makes so much more sense and we wouldn’t even be having to worry about short rest debates so much
2. Some playtesters must have really hated on the four elements monk to go from the coolness listed there to the half baked third caster we have now. It is like they tried to change it and ran out of time and that is what we’ve been stuck with for 8 years and counting
3. DMs complaining about stunning strike spam need never have happened cause they only triggered attempts on critical hits
