In my mind, the number of interested people is relatively uninteresting, as 
long as it is greater than, say, three.

What is lacking here is a written specification.

When it comes to larger features, this development group has a great deal of 
experience in implementing existing specifications, even relatively terrible 
ones like SQL or ODBC or Oracle compatibility.  But the expected behavior has 
to be written down somewhere, endorsed by someone with authority.  It can't 
just be someone's idea.  Especially for features that are so complex, 
esoteric, invasive, and critical for security and performance.

So I think if you want to get anywhere with this, scrap the code, and start 
writing a specification.  One with references.  And then let's consider that 
one.
