Don, are you offering to take the Home and Building Applicability
statement to a vendor forum, and produce a document which a *building
architect* (not a member of said vendor forum) can list on a NAFTA
Article 10-compliant RFP, and which will tell an implementor (also not a
member of said vendor forum) what pieces need to be implemented in order
to interoperate? 

Because, that's the situation for all other IETF (routing) specifications.
