Sounds good to me.

Seems like the only viable path forward (to making progress) WRT novel 
inventions and so forth.  Enabling experimentation is one of the 
functions of the PUA.  Publish the scheme, provide a mechanism for using 
it, and see if anybody wants it.  Actual usage would determine its 
merits, if any.
