As I talked to Peter - one of the guys behind the kde-standards -
yesterday, they are happy for any input given. Although our opinions
drift away in certain points, they (he) seem to be very open to new
ideas/modifications. There only seems to be a problem with people
criticizing the "standard" and not telling what should be changed...

But Steve, as you wrote, discussion in "wider audience" will be a good
solution - it always has been...
