I've gone ahead and abandoned 1). Item 2) was abandoned by its author. Rather than abandon 3) I have rebased it and updated it with a potential alternative to consider (reuse ethercalc basically) since there has been some renewed interest in having survey tooling available to us that is infra hosted.

Now that I have had a chance to start going through these expect more updates on various specs as I manage to work through them and update those that need updates and abandon those that are no longer applicable. If you have a spec up that needs rebasing feel free to push that up too :)

Thanks,
