Oh, okay, that makes sense. If you want to get (2) going, by all means go for it. I have no idea how to do this myself; Ard said something about joining the UEFI forum as an individual something or another but I don't think I'm the man for the job there. Is this something that Intel can do with their existing membership (is that the right term?) at the UEFI forum? Or maybe a Microsoft engineer on the list?
From my side, regarding (1), I'm basically just waiting for Rafael's "Acked-by" (or an explicit nack) so I can put this in my tree and move on.
Jason
