This is a clear example of presenting a solution and asking if there is 
a problem for it to solve.  Generally it is better to begin by outlining 
the problems and use cases that you believe aren't adequately addressed, 
which makes it a lot easier to determine whether or not existing markup 
is suitable, develop an appropriate solution if needed, or determine 
that it's not worth addressing.
