Andrew and I are working on a draft that has pretty much that set of 
attributes per service. We did include details on authentication - (e.g. 
mechanism, user id to use etc). Some other features are needed, such as 
priority (e.g., whether IMAP is preferred over POP). Our draft will start 
out with an XML schema and its own .well-known resource - that was pretty 
much our original design before we started the wider discussions here - but 
obviously that is all open to change (i.e. JSON, host-meta or whatever).
