I have assumed that we will only write and test Glulx. Adding Z-code would 
basically double the work load for the parser part of the project. Do we 
want to go there?

(Are we thinking in terms of "run a second round in the future", covering 
other platforms and tools?)

We can ask. Again, I am most interested in whether anybody still uses it.

I forgot mobile! iOS Frotz supports Glulx, and should be tested if we 
want to include mobile. What about Android? Last I heard, there were no 
fully-released Android Glulx interpreters.
