Greetings.  A good API will be OS-specific.  The best we could do 
would be at the semantic level.  You could, possibly, write something 
about requirements on an API, but I don't think it should be in the 
charter at this time.  Generally I think APIs, having nothing to do 
with what goes on the wire, are out of scope for the IETF.
