Schwern and I had a few words with Harald T. Alvestrand (former chairman 
of IETF) about the relevance of putting TAP on a IETF track, and he 
basically answered "Sure, this sounds like something the application group 
would want to work on."

Anyone want to look into what it takes to make this happen? :)
