I think that's an excellent suggestion. All specifications should be 
accompanied by a science fiction story or perhaps a thriller that 
features the new technology.

I'm thinking a coded message affecting the future of humanity, where the 
secret is buried in the appearance, not the content of the text. And our 
amateur sleuths from the future need to revive an ancient machine found 
in an abandoned spaceship where they have to piece together what they 
can from preserved fragments of this mail discussion. While fighting off 
the CSS overlords.

That should about do it.

Once that thriller hits the bestseller lists, the inevitable fan 
community will implement the technology and keep it alive through 
sequels, film adaptations and fan fiction. See Klingon.

Case closed.
