There are several implementations of D, but they are all based on the Digital Mars front end. There just aren't the incompatibilities out there that require a standards organization's involvement. Incompatibilities aren't the only problems that standards organizations try to solve. But they nonetheless exist to solve problems. There are indeed problems with D (it still counts as a young language with kinks still to be worked out and with weak third party support), but those issues are not the kinds that fall under the purview of standards organizations. Note that open source development of a language helps prevent the need for standards organization involvement. This is at least partly why Perl, PHP, and Python don't have standards organization definition. Since D's front end is open source, it may never need a standards organization definition.
