Sorry, I don’t think that’s in the scope of this undertaking. (Good goal, though.)
Did you see what I posted above that supposedly the Sign of Peace is slated to be moved out of the Communion Rite and closer to the beginning of the Liturgy of the Eucharist — would be best at the beginning of the Mass, maybe.
There are some ancient liturgies in which the kiss of peace is placed at the end of the prayers of the faithful. That placement makes a lot of sense to me and would not interrupt the action, as the current placement does. Come to think of it, the beginning of the prayers of the faithful (which I think is without precendent) would take that concept to its logical conclusion and makes sense from a theological and a scriptural sense.
At the beginning of the offeratory is also consistent with the notion of being at peace with your brother before bringing your offering to the altar.
