It'll take more than advocacy to make it a standard. I don't need to
tell you, I'm certain, that in Open Source software the best way to make
things happen is to do them.
To be a Standard though, you need to write a specification and have it
go through X.org's standardization process. A proof of concept, in the
form of an implementation, is useful too.
X.org is currently in the process of aligning its processes with the
open source movement. The legal framework is expected to be in place by
the first of the year. Even though that part won't be ready for a few
more weeks, X.org has already begun the other part by sponsoring an open
development source tree on freedesktop.org. This tree will become the
basis for X.org future releases.
Commit privileges in the X.org tree are free for the asking -- you do
your work on a branch and when the X.org community agree, your work will
be merged into the main branch and become part of the next release.
The people doing Cygwin-X have already started working in the X.org tree.
