I'm not aware of any efforts.  If you are seriously interested in seeing
this done, I suggest you contact Phill Gross (pgross@nri.reston.va.us).
As head of the Internet Engineering Task Force, this sort of activity is
his responsibility.  Note that the IETF recently has been restructured to
make it easier to get such RFCs written, issued and blessed -- for something
like this, it could be only a few months.  The next IETF meeting is in
Hawaii (in part to see what Torben Nielsen's been doing in promoting
IP in the Pacific Rim) at the end of October.
