That would be very useful.  Would these be publicly available?

While this is also very useful (I've glanced at the documents, thanks
for the urls), as you point out, these relate to LMP-WDM, and that
document isn't under consideration even as a WG document until we
resolve whether the IETF or the ITU-T (or both or neither) should work
on it.  Hopefully, we can get that resolved by the next IETF meeting.
