There have been several attempts to engage with OS, if I remember
correctly, both by LWG and by individual mappers.  They've been
resistant.

Sorry to appear to be picking on you, Chris, I know you aren't the

and famously "verboten" source for your edits without being perfectly
clear that those edits are now permitted.
