You really are quite bonkers ;-) Lots of international standards aren't governed by ISO. ISO is just another standards body, albeit the most broad reaching, but one now with lots of questions marks over it's fitness after the OOXML scandal. Yes Khronous is a industry consortium, but one that exists to create standards. It's best standards body that our sector of the computer industry has to offer. If ISO were to get into graphics API standards then then we defer to Khronous, it's how they often work for other bodies.
