If it's for reference (and perhaps in a non-normative annex), I think that's
fine.

My experience with ISO has been that reference implementations are few and
far between; they're more likely in some place like IETF. But I don't know
of anything that prevents our having one.

If you want something normative, that's getting into the realm of
conformance, and I'm not sure how you'd do that. Conformance is more likely
to be done either by formal specification or by test suites (I think
particularly of Don Knuth's test for what can call itself "TeX").

But the folks in WG3 are building reference models. Still, that's models,
not code.
