Sorry I can't engage in more projects than I already do... Anyway, I think you are right, the problem is imminent and important. Unfortunately the standards seem to be indirectly influenced by Windows which is by design a monolithic, big and complex system :-/ Windows as a widely used DE certainly affects the way of thinking of the developers of Linux DE environments. They are concerned about not "losing against Windows feature-wise" - despite the features possibly having a sense only in the context of a monolithic, complex and proprietary system. Thanks LXDE developers for providing a viable alternative!
