I don't believe 'CDN' is from a standard... it's a common misnomer
I agree that no organization like ISO or ANSI created a specification
for that code.
But that does NOT prevent from being a standard. (Think "defacto
standard".)
You do NOT need the blessing of any organization to get a standard.
You just need enough people (within a group) using it.
"CDN" is used by ALOT of people.
Poor web design techniques are used by ALOT of people - doesn't mean
they're right. If microformats were to become popular enough, as well
the inherent benefits, it could also indirectly correct people on an
issue such as this.
