+1.  We'd be delighted to see this happen.  The Liaison Policy rule
about submissions requiring an open interop gives us a baseline for demonstrating, when we take an OASIS work out to one of the global de jure groups, that there's been some material testing and evidence of its use.
The Interops policy is here:
