Sure, but we shouldn't create standards conflicting with existing practices when we don't need to and we shouldn't design in the void ignoring what's already in place. Also we must consider if that's something better standardized at the freedesktop level. Consider for example that we might want to mandate the usage of xdg-open to call a browser, that matches existing pratice and xdg-open could be modified so that it respects $BROWSER.
