I want to be sure there's no misunderstanding - I'm not looking for a
standards-only project.  I'm looking for an umbrella for purposes of
a) coordination and b) efficiency, but it's an umbrella for free
software projects and contributors, creating code that eventually gets
standardized. Not an umbrella for standards committees writing
standards that eventually get implemented.

Here are some of my mails that go into more detail:

Anyway, it's possible people already understood that, but I want to be
on the safe side in case that changes whether people are interested.

The point is really an umbrella doing projects such as the list at the
top of http://www.xfree86.org/pipermail/forum/2003-April/001218.html
