However, I think it could benefit if it had some acceptance & endorsement by the vendors and standards body so that everyone saluted the flag concerning the end results. As a member of SIGAda, I'd support the effort and would even be willing to donate some time if the effort was well focused and the relevant players were signed up to accept the end result. Without those conditions, its chances of succeeding are slim.
