Stephen, Your goal is laudatory, but the devil will be in the details. For example, you wrote:
Note also that this experiment just needs an implementation that makes it possible for the WG chairs and responsible AD to verify (to the extent they chose) that the implementation matches the draft. Will this require WG chairs and/or document shepherds to do a code review to verify that the implementation and code match? A better criteria might be that there be at least two independent implementations that successfully interoperate. That would also show greater WG interest than just a single individual or organization. Open source code is a plus, but shouldn't be a requirement, as such a requirement might discourage some vendors from implementing.
