Nah.  More like indoor plumbing.

Quote - First thing would be to get Rendo people, DAZ people, and EF people to agree internally that there's actually a need for standardization.  Good luck with that ;)

That's a valid caveat, obviously.  Which is what I meant with my point about the squeaky wheel.  If it's a big enough problem, the vendor sites will act.  If not, they won't.  Because clearly it's an easy task.  After taking suggestions from a variety of sources (maybe even a simple web page with the proposals and polls to see what is best liked) to make sure people who want to be heard have their say, it would take all of an evening or two for 1 to 3 people to hash it out and create a proposal.  Some criticism, some more suggestions, a revision or two later, and problem solved. 

Again (I've learned through hard experience that repetition is key to clarity), the goal is not to create the ideal structural standard, or even a very good one; the goal is to create a reasonable one so there can be a standard at all.  This would even serve the interests of those people who are impossible to please and would wind up hating the standard structure.

Thanks, never even knew there was such a thing.
