1. I'd like to do that.  Good and important issue.

2. However, defining interfaces in the absence of knowledge about the
details of what is being interfaced to pretty much never works.

3. It occurs to me that the charter /should/ make some comment about
this wg's helping that other effort, beyond just 'using' its output.  As
a real and immediate consumer of that work, we can provide some guidance
about what is needed.  We aren't the sole 'experts' on the topic, but
again, our need is real and immediate and concrete.

So perhaps the most useful thing we can do is try to get the wg to
formulate 'needs' -- I think the word 'requirements' is overblown,
overused, distracting, and often inappropriately-constraining -- to
communicate to that other effort?
