It is definitely plausible.  For this I'd need some input from someone
who can actually test some of these parts.

Nuno, you are listed as library maintainer - so can you get someone to
look at this please. +CC various other folk from maintainers or who have worked
in this area in last few years.

Otherwise, just a comment to use a Link tag for cross references.

Thanks,

Jonathan
