We sketched out some designs for this that indicated that it is at least
feasible.  It's not that easy though - prancer in particular complicates
things considerably - and we managed to find more important things to spend
time on before we could do anything significant.  Full compliance with the
specification, rather than just an SDP implementation, is not something
that is easily replicated.
