Setting up a new standards body just for this may involve more overhead<br>
than you realize, and may not have the reach or credibility you want to<br>
make an impact on industry. W3C already has the infrastructure in place<br>
for public participation and Royalty-Free license obligations, many<br>
members with print interests, and the neutrality and visibility to<br>
promote such an effort.<br>
<br>
We also have a spec in progress that deals with color management [1][2],<br>
which would seem to be a good match. It would also be good to have a<br>
treatment of some of these color issues in CSS, SVG, and XSL-FO specs.<br>
<br>
Disclosure: I'm the W3C Team Contact for the SVG and WebApps working<br>
groups. I'm also a new member of OASIS, as a participant in the ODF TC<br>
and liaison to the SVG WG, in an attempt to make SVG a first-class<br>
citizen of ODF.<br>
<br>
I'd be happy to bring this up with the ODF TC to get more feedback,<br>
though right now they are focused on finishing ODF 1.2... future work<br>
will start in earnest next year, I think. I'm not the right person to<br>
advocate for this, but I can help coordinate efforts (it would be one of<br>
the few times in my life that I'd be color-coordinated ^_^ ).<br>
<br>
If you're interested in talking more about these possibilities before<br>
LGM, get in touch with me (or Chris or Liam) offlist.<br>
