Of course. I'm not saying we don't need a standard, just that the lack of a standard *today* should not prevent us from thinking about, and possibly designing, a solution to our problem. If we're sure we agree on the problem, and can mostly agree on a solution that would work for us, we can get started in the standards process in about a day. It is silly (but common) to start the standards work before we are sure that it is what we want. >Updating software with a new root module is a lot simpler.
