I got the impression that "wild west" is what we've already got
(within the payload)?

Would oslo-specs (as in messaging) be the right place for that?

My thinking is the right thing to do is bounce around some questions
here (or perhaps in a new thread if this one has gone far enough off
track to have dropped people) and catch up on some loose ends.

For example: It appears that CADF was designed for this sort of thing and
was considered at some point in the past. It would be useful to know
more of that story if there are any pointers.

My initial reaction is that CADF has the stank of enterprisey all over
it rather than "less is more" and "worse is better" but that's a
completely uninformed and thus unfair opinion.

Another question (from elsewhere in the thread) is if it is worth, in
the Ironic notifications, to try and cook up something generic or to
just carry on with what's being used.

Yup.

Thanks for helping to tease this all out and provide some direction on
where to go next.
