Can you either describe what would be acceptable, or point me to
somewhere that does? (Without having to fork out €BIGNUM to a standards
body.)

If I can get a decent description, I'm sure I can come up with something
that comes closer to the standard, and doesnt produce as many unpleasant
surprises for linux apps.

In what way? Is there something broken in their local implementation,
a lack of semantically adequate mappings to the FreeBSD scheduler, or
a general lack of functionality in the BSD rtprio stuff it maps to?
