Start by figuring out who you want to implement these standards and who you 
think the ultimate users will be, and what the added benefit will be for 
the targeted audience.

Do you need multiple compatible implementations of a standard, or do you 
just want to develop open source software?

Do you need new standards, or do you just want to promote the use of, say, 
XML 1.0, XPath 1.0, or RELAX-NG?

Is there an existing body that is a natural home to what you want to 
accomplish?

Does it matter if no major vendor directly supports your standards? Do you 
need to interoperate with existing standards bodies in some way? Do you 
have an identifiable turf that is not already owned by an existing 
standards body? If these things are important goals, someone should figure 
out how SAX managed to become pervasive without coming from the bigger 
companies or standards bodies.

None of these are leading questions. They are just questions I would want 
to answer if I were starting down this road.
