I wrote to my contact as follows:

and he replied that he'd forward this to the Program Comittee with a 
recommendation that they accept it.  (Sorry for forgetting SableVM, I won't 
do it again Etienne ...)  If people have other ideas then I'm sure we can 
work them out with the Program Comittee once the basic idea has been accepted.

Haven't heard from Jeroen recently ... I know someone who's doing research 
using Jikes RVM, maybe we could find someone from that group too.
