Perfect is the enemy of good, and this has dogged many similar

I'm afraid that I find it unlikely.
I agree, there are many unsolved issues with GedcomX, and the specification is
nowhere near mature enough for anyone to have started writing actual code --
but I figure it'll be slightly more likely to get to that point if I contribute
when I can.
One thing I noticed is the very inadequate attempt to specify a street
address.
Many years ago I ran a mailing list to print sticky labels for a little
magazine. I live in Melbourne Australia and a recipient lived inside a
hospital in London. His street address component required 6 lines,
whereas GedcomX only specifies street/street2/street3 :-(.
