I made a first cut as such a document by ripping relevant text out of 
the -01 requirements draft, but it was really rough and needs lots of 
work. There were a few operators and researchers at the time who 
offered to lend their experience to the draft to make it more useful, 
but those offers of assistance didn't materalise at the time for one 
reason or another (the rapid transition from room-to-think to 
fear-of-being-laid-off at the time had more than a little to do with 
it).

I would be very happy to lend time to making that document useful, if 
there is interest in doing so (and in contributing opinions and text to 
it). I'm not sufficiently naive to think that consensus on such a 
document would be a trivial thing to achieve, but I suspect it might be 
easier to obtain than consensus on the requirements draft :)
