Perhaps an Open Standards Public License is in order. You would not be able to officially say you support an open standard unless you meet the criteria set forth by the standards committee.
Extending an open standard would be allowed, but only if you disclosed your modifications to the committee. This way, others who support the real standard can choose to interoperate with your modifications.
What Microsoft continues to do is the equivalent of building cars that are too wide, then complaining that the roads are too narrow.
Is there already something like this available? If so, where could I find more information about it?
