Sounds great!  As it happens, I've been reading up on this design, this
week.

I think it may be nice, and also a good test, if my testnet and yours could
be shown to interoperate.

I agree in principle with the design goals of inter ledger, tho some slight
implementation details may differ.  I'd be prepared to write some glue
code, in order to try and make hetrogeneous ledgers be able to work
together ...

It would be quite interesting, imho, to see how hard it would be to get two
independently designed ledgers to cooperate.
