I know that I, at least, don't want to be a passive implementor of a  
finished spec. I want to be an active contributor to a spec in progress.

However, since there is no spec -- at least, not one I can lay my  
hands on -- I'll have to wait until the "people in the know" finish  
their implementations and then write a spec. That's OK with me, I  
guess, but it seems to bar collaboration in the short term.

Once you've finished your implementation and written a spec about it,  
I hope you won't discount feedback by saying, "Well, our  
implementation is already done, and it's too late for major changes --  
why didn't you give us this feedback earlier?"
