I agree with gathering said data via use-cases (that's what the Social Web
XG is trying to do) but let's also use this survey, as I think it covers
the bases and I often find survey results surprising.

Next step might be to think of where to send it, i.e. both within and
without w3c.

However, some "standardization" communities like the microformat community
 prefer this, considering teleconfs too time-consuming and f2fs too
expensive. So maybe not an "offering" but an option.
