The forum you're looking for is called Unix International (UI). It includes
members such as AT&T, Sun, Amdahl, and everyone else that is developing SVR4.
(Sorry for the short list... it should be obvious why I only remember those
three.) I don't know if UI is currently discussing that issue. But if it
is going to be considered, that's where I expect it would have the best chance.
