Might I suggest that you first start doing what most sensible people
have been doing over the long long years of human existence:

 - define your problem
 - define what you want to solve
 - define for what you want to solve it

And then after that is all done, realize that the problem you have is
very difficult.

The IETF has a simple process for all of this: write a draft.
And the alternative process is: build running code.

But afaik you already know about this. Bickering about all this is fun
of course, but it doesn't help coming to a solution, especially as the
solution doesn't have a defined problem set and what it is supposed to
solve.
