I seem to recall suggesting this type of thing back in the DevMUD days. :)
That suggestion went exactly nowhere.  That said, on some of these types of
topics, I'm learning about them for my current project to try and make some
decent decisions on things.  I'm just not into writing papers on that
research due to lack of time and no real demand.  The people doing this type
of server often are already willing to do the research.  Those unwilling to
do the research tend to not be doing the type of server that might require
that research.  I've probably insulted any number of people now.

I'm open to collaborating with people who are skilled in these areas though.
