Hmmm... a new IETF working group does not a new standard make -- necessarily.
I would suggest clearly documenting the _requirements_ (or goals) for such
a protocol, publishing them as an Internet Draft, and see if anyone
expresses interest. Then you can have a debate about whether and why the
existing standards are or are not adequate. And maybe (just maybe) there
will be a case to design a new protocol, or protocol extensions.
