Just for information, I plan to have a SRU and SRW implementation, but
(due to other time pressures) was waiting for the spec to settle down.
But I am not likely to finish an implementation in a few days, so I will
let you guys decide which way to go.

A suggestion for consideration. Announce the release as a some sort of
interop phase ("officially open for interop testing for a period of XXX
days/weeks"). That way its released/stable, but people know it may change
during testing. It may encourage other people to try and implement it too.
Just a thought.
