I'm not involved in this in detail, so I may be off base, but my understanding is that the advanced API has not been picked up by Open Group because its members didn't support doing so -- they just didn't see a need to.
My own take is that standardization of the advanced API just isn't compelling. When I did a survey in the past of what various vendors had done with the advanced API, I found that none implemented it completely. Rather, most implemented bits and pieces of it depending on what applications needed the funcitonality (or just implemented private versions for the applications that needed the functionality). And since the functionality in the adnvanced API (by definition) isn't needed accept by fairly exotic usages, it's hard to make the arguement that it needs to be implemented for basic interoperability.
