Thanks for asking, so you give me the chance to clarify that task forces  
are really just a convenient way to organize discussion inside the group,
so everybody can propose them and if there is enough support we can start  
one on each topic that seems to be of interest.

So I'll consider your question as a proposal to create such a TF :)
If there are other people that consider this topic interesting, please let  
us know so that we can evaluate how much interest we have around the topic.

Anyway, let me also point out that TFs are mostly needed when there is a  
need to create a requirement document as a starting point for more  
technical/specification work

If you are interest just in discussing and brainstorming around the topic,  
another solution would be to just discuss over this mailing list,
sharing ideas and experiences. The IG F2Fs (~2 per year) could be the  
chance to present any outcome of this discussion.

This could be a first step before starting a proper TF.
