I would love to do so.
However, from what Peter Todd said above, my feeling was that spec is
deliberately vague to force compatibility with the reference
implementation rather than with a document.
While that kind of compatibility-via-obscurity won't probably work in a
long run, in short run it can prevent proliferation of implementations
and thus give protocol more space and flexibility to evolve (I've done
the same trick with ZeroMQ myself once).
Anyway, if my impression was wrong I am happy to give it a try.
