It sounds like it would be great if someone was to outline functioning of at least one of these implementations? (assuming there is interest in this thing)

That could serve as a proposal for standard wrapped format. It is probably quite a bit of work to document, but people tend to find time to comment on proposals even if they have no time to draft proposals from scratch.
And given that proposal would actually have an existing reference implementation, it should be reasonably well grounded to reality (real use cases, not impossible/impractical to implement).
