To be more clear, I'd like more than a name/phrase. I'd
like to see a design document and a few test cases passed
by multiple implementations.

I'm sympathetic to expanding the scope of our use
cases document to cover the 3rd party case, but until
there is a design document and running code and test
cases, I want to set very low expectations about
whether GRDDL will handle those cases. Perhaps
a "future work" or "related work" section.

Another option is an ESW Wiki topic in the Grddl category.
http://esw.w3.org/topic/CategoryGrddl

Even if/when the design/test/implementation details
of the 3rd party case are worked out, I much prefer to
keep the name GRDDL for the follow-your-nose cases
and not mix it up with the 3rd-party case.
