Indeed. This is what I ment with my proposal. A formal method for
blessing the standards that have reached a strong position already.

By all means, everyone is free to try (almost ;-) anything. It's just that I
am convinced will be an utter waste of time, and I don't like to see people
put a lot of effort in something that will not work out. Think of it as a
friendly warning ;-)

Effectively there already is a board. It consists of the entire KDE and GNOME
developer communities. If either of those groups doesn't agree on a standard
it is as good as dead, if both implement it, you have a de-facto standard.

A toothless paper tiger will not be a very effective board...
