Indeed, and more than that, we want to get people cooperating to
speed up the development of compatible specs. If we don't then
we are leaving a vacuum, into which will flood proprietary specs.
I am interested in being a member of this effort.
My area of interest is in security and commerce.
I have considerable progress on my 'grass root'
effort which I can donate (both docs and source
code).
Great! I was kind of hoping to do things this way, by building on
all the efforts to-date of different groups.

Your wish is my command! (I have just submitted a request for the BOF).
