This forum could be the place where these are discussed debated and the community agree upon. Everyone can put in their opinion and arguments from the most experienced to the best internet divers we have. Logical argument should highlight the optimum set of standards.

Once published people are free of course to use them or not - But if the logic is good - and the arguments well made - people will.

...if the format of discussion is too restrictive like:

• must agree on this point before the next point could be discuss
• must adhere to the standards
• blah-blah

then progress will be impeded.

However, if we could keep the discussion in the form such as:

• present a view point concerning any portion of the overall standards as you like, and support it with logically reasons.
• then willing to debate it with open mind.
• if a impasse is reached after a timely debate, we postpone on the final decision and move on to the next point. The next point might solve the previous issue inadvertently.

or something along those lines.

It might help to have a person to reside over the discussion and decide when it is time to move on to the next issue at hand instead of letting the discussion bogged down, tempers rise and personal attacks happen...
