Well, thats the problem, I haven't either ;) I'm currently contributing a bit to the w3c POI standard, but its more general advice on whats needed/useful for AR then solid contributions. My experience is pretty low really, feeling my way. I also don't know anything really about protocols beyond my own bespoke stuff.
regarding the name; I'm not sure thats such a good idea as its a bit confusable with the "wave federation protocol" itself no? The c/s standard might be similar in some ways but it wont be the same.
