I'd be happy to see what work you've done on this so far, and I'll see if
there's anything I can contribute from the work I've done.

*Anything* in this regard is a good thing, even if it does provide 90% of
the policy information, that means less guesswork and special-purpose hackery
for registrars to deal with. Pairing this up with an informational RFC on
best current practice would help get us close to 100%.
