Right, this is exactly the sort of thing I'd like to gather a group of
design-minded folks around in an Architecture WG. Oslo is busy with the
implementations we have now, but I'm sure many oslo contributors would

with a current design, and some revisions to it, or a whole new one,
that can be used to put these summit hallway rumors to rest.
