Because, at this point, very few useful standards make it through the IETF.
There are things for which the IETF is completely appropriate. VoIP and jabber
and so forth work pretty well in the IETF, for a variety of reasons. But
something like this, which is much more about the application layer, needs to
be implemented first, get a base of users and testers and contributors, and
then if there's something innovative about it down at the protocol layer, that
can be run through the IETF after-the-fact.
