Here's an interesting take on the relevance (or not) of
standardization organizations.  From the post:

  "What is interesting is that TeX, LaTeX, OGG/Vorbis, OGG/Theora, Perl,
Python, PHP, Ruby, OCaml, are not standardized by any
organization. Yet everybody knows that they are "self-standardized" by
the free availability of extensive documentation and/or a by
free-as-in-freedom unobfuscated reference implementation."
