This isn't my vote, but a comment:

Oddly, I'm finding myself coming to believe that its use within a coordinated 
template for mediators might actually being helpful.  This assumes, of 
course, 
that the template can be specified and gain consensus, and that signers, 
verifiers and mediators all are willing to implement it.  Hence, this path 
involves significant effort.

One could argue that it's cleaner to drop it now and explore re-introducing 
it 
in the effort to develop that template.

It sounds like what you're suggesting would be quite different from (and
more complex than) l=, and would have very different semantics compared
with the current numeric definition of l=.
