this list would be a very good addition to the current entry in the faq.
perhaps 2 and 4 are covered by ''Identify what's missing or wrong with 
the current benchmarks'', but this is much clearer.

3 , on the other hand, is more vague than  ''Provide implementations in 
an interpreted language, a JIT language, and a compiled language''.

finally, the ''100 lines of code in c#/java'' is missing. both
here and in the faq.
