Thanks for the info Vadim.
By "open standard", I'm thinking of something like XML itself, which is defined by the W3C and supported by multiple players in the industry.
It's obvious that XSP is not a proprietary standard, but I'm wondering who defined it? who endorses it?
It is defined by the Cocoon Project of the XML group of the Apache Software foundation. As to who endorses it, I don’t know if there are any major groups...

80/20 Rule: Simplicity vs. complexity. 80 percent of the functionality/feature set of an "ideal" solution set, with only 20 percent of the complexity of the ideal solution or 20 percent of the effort required to build the ideal solution; or put another way, the last 20 percent of the "ideal" feature set is what creates the most complexity
