Free Standards, however, is not. The good folks that brought us
the Linux Standard Base, and other standardization work directly
related to existing implementations.
http://www.freestandards.org/

Even if that group is not the place for this work, it's a good
place to look for examples of what does/does not work in this
kind of effort. If I can learn about a hot stove from someone
else's blistered fingers, good for me.

 Thanks,

 Joe
