Hi Dmitry,

I don't personally think you've identified a group that is likely to 
push this through the standardization process, but my opinion doesn't 
matter, theirs does. In general, the implementors of a technology push 
the standards (look at the participants in any W3C Working Group, Java 
JSR, or ISO Committee), though users sometimes do this too (e.g. J.P. 
Morgan was a real driver in AMQP).

If you think this needs to be a standard, go find your champions and 
make it happen. If you can't find them, that might be an indication that 
this isn't going to happen.

Jonathan
