Would you like to discuss this at BCOP meeting? We could spend few 
minutes on this topic as apparently it's a interesting one for wider 
audience.

The best possible outcome of BCOP TF meeting would be if we could get a 
small group of co-authors that would start documenting this topic... I 
learned that you start with a title and table of content and then 
everything is much easier :)

Sure, see you in London ;)
