Writing data models that are implementable on multiple platforms is
non trivial. We started working on your "building block" but it will
take time. And after all, a data model is only worth something if it
gets implemented.  A mandatory section does not help much with all of
this. What helps is people who commit time to work on it, who review
stuff, producing good and hopefully widely implementable models.
