How much difference a decade makes! Whenseveral of us suggested that we
implement a CWAC to try out a 24-hour category within CQWW, Bob Cox
angrily rejected the idea, saying that not a single QSO in a single CQWW
log would ever be released.
How far we've come since! Now, if only the ARRL would adopt the open
logs concept, followed perhaps by the Russians and Germans, we'd have an
ample playing field for all sorts of experiments.

Contest Within A Contest right now. As long as the contacts are valid
under the CQ WW rules, you can score them any way you like and publish
the results according to any criteria you can imagine. If enough people
care about the results of the CWAC, it will become popular. If they
don't, it won't. The CQ WW will benefit from the activity and you will
benefit from having tried something interesting and new. Go for it!

I think N0AX is spot on with his suggestion. Just set up a contest within a
contest and test your ideas out, if your new contest works you will have a
big start in establishing it as a free standing contest.
