If you are using "Standards" in a formal sense then there are very few in
our area.
NO chemistry specifications are standards.
W3C protocols (XML, HTML, CSS) are not standards, they are "recommendations"
IETF does not produce standards but drafts (e.g. MIME, URIs)
The only standards are those that go through ISO (none in chemistry that
matter) or ECMA. Things like Javascript, MS-OOXML (yes). Not Java.

So we have to use a looser definition of standard. It's in our mantra. I
think we should define what we regard as useful, not what is formally a
"standard".
