Surely the idea is more than 96 hours old, but what business does anything conceived of in February have showing up in spec language come March? Doesn't feel like standardization, feels like greenfield development, when the solution shows up before anyone's aware there's a use case illustrating a problem. Is the solution based on any interoperable code? Did that code exist in the wild, as an ad-hoc solution to the problem, or was it created after the spec language was drafted? -Eric
