I'm not. I'm sure I'm not the only person who has noted the oxymoron
inherent to the requirement "must support undocumented proprietary feature".
I'm suggesting it MUST be documented in order to proceed.

That's not the suggestion. The suggestion is that we only support what we
can see. Document what exists today so we can all participate in innovation.
We'll otherwise waste a lot of time figuring out what is redundant and what
is not. I'm not interested in wasting my time proposing solutions for some
"star chamber" to pick and choose from....
