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?

"Acked-by" (or an explicit nack) so I can put this in my tree and move
on.
