I do not believe it has been considered -- generally, W3C Member
organizations come to us (W3C) and propose work items; often we
then arrange a public Workshop, and if that goes well, start a
Working Group. 

Years ago I worked on an SGML Shell (never released, it used
proprietary software) and tried to get some people interested.
