Your choice of words reminds me of the core/layers project that seul
started long long ago. (It was one of the projects which spurred people
to merge all the related projects into the LSB.)
Pages are still up, at http://www.seul.org/dev/distrib/core/
You're all free to take any and all of our text or lists, and do whatever
you like with them if they're useful.
But that said, I agree with hpa -- you need to focus on the core itself,
and ignore the layers until you have a core that everybody likes. Producing
an actual document that (at least major) distributions will respect and use
is crucial to having people continue to take the lsb seriously.
