Thank you very much for the suggestion (and for the implicit vote of support), but I'm afraid that handing SAX over to a standards body would be its doom. Right now, SAX is an open spec designed in public view on the XML-Dev mailing list -- we all get to see each-others' unpolished, stupid ideas as soon as they emerge, and we knock them back and forth until they look like something. The alternative would be to hand SAX over to a standards body that might or might not set up a working group, that might or might not in a year or two put out a working draft, that almost certainly wouldn't look anything like the SAX we all know today.
