That's what Indie UI Context was intended to be. I'm still hopeful we can get some aspects of of it into a general Web spec. These two are the most relevant for Shane's interest.

After a while though, it became clear that the ideas would not be successful as a WAI-managed project, which is one of the reasons we dissolved the group. The aspects that fit well directly into CSS are likely to be maintained by the CSS WG. The more general interface could be picked up by a number of specs, the most logical being HTML or another WebApps-managed spec.

I no longer have the cycles available to shepherd the effort of the general interface, but if you can drum up additional interest, I'd put my support behind it and contribute what I can.
