I would like to work on improving implementations so that they can 
actually use it.

I think it's great to work on 103, and while doing that also improve the 
situation for 1xx in general. I already saw somebody else saying that 
they're looking into using RFC 2518's 102 Processing status as well 
(different use case, but same protocol level).
