Process-wise, that's not a bad idea; it could be the only way (or the
best way) to argue for a corresponding change in edk2's
EFI_ACPI_TABLE_PROTOCOL implementation
(MdeModulePkg/Universal/Acpi/AcpiTableDxe).

Do you want to raise this on the ASWG list? I vaguely recall that you
subscribed; if not, I think you should be able to, as a Red Hatter
<http://members.uefi.org/kmembership_info/person_signup/>.

(I'd like to avoid being the middle man.)

Hm... It seems that the "Adopter Membership" is free, which could be
appropriate for individual observers:

http://uefi.org/join
http://members.uefi.org/home/

(Should Phil consider it.)
