That is a good plan to understand the code hand over. I mentioned this in another reply, but if this presents and issue I am more than happy to do a clean room implementation. There are a few reasons for this:
Firstly, we want to make a spec so that other implementations in other languages can be build this might be easier if we truly start from a spec, instead of reverse engineering a spec from the existing code. Secondly, even though the code is already present, I suspect that as we implement things on the road map the code base will change fairly drastically and little of the original code will be in places after 2-3 releases. To recap: If importing the current code is an issue, we can adjust the proposal to do a clean room implementation. It adds complexity but not anything insurmountable.
