And apparently nobody can really work on things whether interesting or not 
without a spec... So how about making a spec how this is SUPPOSED to be 
handled, and then hoping somebody interested enough comes along to actually 
implement it? With spec I'd say chances of that happening are tenfold, and 
odds of something usable coming out of it are at least 80%.
