I'll definitely keep you (and the list) posted. Right now I'm working with "minimal" cee messages, more just as a good format for structured messages to give other people on my team something to work with, and not trying to cover the entirety of the CEE specification (which is rather daunting for someone just jumping in to it).
A useful tool I've found at the moment is jvburnes' cee appender python library, if anyone else is working on this sort of thing: http://code.google.com/p/cee-appender/ It provides a CEEEvent class for python that produces JSON encoded CEE messages.
