Hi Dmitry,

If you are looking for implementations, the best way is generally to 
implement it yourself, or find someone who is excited about your ideas 
and convince them to implement it. A standards committee is a very 
indirect way to get implementations, and if you want to propose this as 
a standard, a community of users and implementations will help you make 
your case.
