This all sounds like re-inventing a wheel. Such activities already
exist - the interface we are talking about is now named GACI,
Generic Access Control Interface, and it has mailing list somewhere
in Germany. Don't know the subscribe address, but the list address
is gaci@compuniverse.de. I am sure that you will find some archives
about this and join the existing comunity instead of creating something,
which is exactly the same.
