I haven't made any specific inquires to vendors regarding implementation
interest. Until this point the work has been in completing the
specification and having it open for review and feedback from all.

Given the progress and stability of the document, and further progression
towards CR, perhaps it would be useful to now solicit what interest there
is from vendors? I could put out a "call for implementation interest" on
public-html to see what the responses are?

To date there has been no direct feedback from vendors, i'm not sure if
this represents lack of interest or prudence in waiting for specification
stability. Getting some clarity in this area should provide some light on
where the document is heading regarding the CR implementation experience.
