Having a more formal description of state machines is a natural next

Unfortunately, unlike ABNF, none of these (except SDL) have a long-
term stable reference. If we worry about PDF not being around for
future RFC readers, I am a bit more worried about the authors of a
SourceForge volunteer project finding other things to do.
Thus, I think the first step would have to be to define a (subset)
of a suitable language as an IETF-stable document,
You are absolutely right and here is my first attempt:

See also http://www.cosmogol.fr/ if you want the HTML version.
Comments, flames, criticisms, patches, suggestions and running code
are highly appreciated.
Isn't there a suitable text based state description language published
by the
CCITT that we can use rather than invent our own from scratch? There
was a lot of work done on this back in the days of Chill to describe the
operation of SPC telephone exchanges.
