Given the widely-diverging views on what, if anything, should be done to os.path, how about we make a PEP and a standalone implementation of (1) for now, and leave (2) and everything else for a later PEP.
Why write a PEP at this stage? Just release your proposal as a module, and see if people use it. If they do, write a PEP to include it in the stdlib. (That's basically what happened with the original PEP - it started off proposing Jason Orendorff's path module IIRC).
From what you're proposing, I may well use such a module, if it helps :-) (But I'm not sure I'd vote for it in to go the stdlib without having survived as an external module first)
