I've asked about this.  There aren't any papers/documents written (yet),
but there are supposed to be some tools in the works.  I'll work on
finding/getting the people involved to discuss the topic on this list.
I've volunteered to help write a paper on the topic, so it's now a
matter of gathering the technical leadership and confirming the various
positions/answers.
