This strikes me as *absolutely* something that should be promoted outside of the stdlib, as a 3rd party project, and once it's established as a commonly used and accepted standard, only then propose that the stdlib offer support for it (if that's even needed at that point). Trying to promote a standard by making it "official" and then encouraging tools to accept it "because it's the official standard" seems like it's doing things backwards, to me at least.
