Right. If we are talking about an RESTful API based system that is 
absolutely fine. At the moment we do not have such an system in place, 
but as soon as we have I will be the last person to ignore it.

At the moment email with it's standards like (m)ARF and x-arf and IODEF 
and all these are common practice. And we need a solution for this 
common practice.

As soon as we have something in place, I will write the proposal. 
Promised ;-)
