I suggest that the "community" beat really hard on proposed
library support for strings, time, bignums, etc. and arrive
at a consensus on an interface.  Then, a few years from now
when we start to consider proposals for C0x, submit the
interface spec *early in the process* and find at least one
champion on WG14 to push it forward.  Peter Seebach and I
are obvious choices, assuming we're still involved then.
