Yes.  comp.std.c++ is read by many of the language oriented (so-called 
"core") committee members who don't participate in Boost, so is a good 
place to take about language extensions.

Even discussions of features needed for library development can bog down 
the main Boost list.  The details of a proposal might be better worked out 
via private email or even a separate special topic list.

The Boost Wiki at 
http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl can also be 
a useful tool for coordinating work without running everything through the 
main list.
