JSF == Standard?

My question is: What should become a standard?

When I think about standards, then things that come to mind are:

- SQL
- ODBC
- Java
- JDBC
- EJB
- JPA

but not JSF. And not Spring. And not ... - you name it.

For some reason, possibly due to the fast evolving nature of the web,
web frameworks are higher up in the food chain, and I don't think that
we are ready yet to standardize on that level. People may say JSF is a
standard, so what? The fact that there are so many others seems to
prove my point.
