Someone needs to start the list somewhere. The Base WG hasn't done
anything of this nature at all. The spec can be sent to them for
review, which I believe Jaroslav has volunteered to do.

I agree that's a possibility, but I'd rather _one_ of the WGs start by
trying to be productive and then reaching out instead of having them
all just sit around waiting for each other.
Sure, if the long-term plan is to rationalize things down as Matthew
