I have no strong objections. Could you work up a sample in Java so those
of us who work better with examples than with abstracts could see what you
have in mind?
I would urge anyone who wants to offer up a specification language to put
together a sample certificate specification in that language. It would be
even better if everyone coded the same example.

Java types are defined in terms of bit size. A Java int is always 32
signed bits and a Java long is always 64 signed bits. I call that a
distinct improvment.
