Robert,
I would be interested, and I can bring to the SC the JavaScript API specialization bits my team has developed. (It's a bit of a hack so would need to be re-architected, but gives a starting point.)
I've attached some sample output (wiki) so you can judge if this would useful. It's close to O'Reilly's template, with some differences.

[dita] Potential new DITA interest area
Hello,
We've got a lot of people inside IBM using DITA specializations to mix API
information with other documentation. These specializations have been
released through the DITA Open Toolkit, as a core set of generic API
document types, along with more specialized types specifically for Java.
Nokia recently released an additional set of specializations for C++ based
on the same core set of API modules, and I've gotten a lot of queries about
extending them for other languages.
Is there interest from anybody else on the TC in making these document
types a little more formal? For example, we could start up something like a
"DITA for Programmers" subcommittee that at least works on the core API
Document types, and potentially the extensions into some language specific
modules. Eventually, I would hope that any approved API modules like this
could be released as independent packages - that is, I would not expect
them to be part of the eventual DITA 1.3 specification itself.
Thanks -
