No shine (and above all accessible redundant information for everyone) -> no 
attention by users -> no attention by developers -> no implementation of 
Xesam -> no standard in place.
You can have the best specification in the world, it is useless if no one 
adopt it. Someone in the list probably has more experience than me about 
this :-)

First time I was on website I gain very bad opinion of Xesam, because I 
couldn't find informations I required. Them were available (at least, the 
xesam-glib binding), but... I didn't found them at first try. Sure, at second 
I did, but I was motivated: I can figure most of occasional users open the 
page, give a look, and back to read news on Slashdot without understand what 
Xesam is.

If it is so, probably this may be the major blocking motivation. But 
dependency from a over-bureaucratic authority, as you say, unable to provide 
some web space cannot be a reason to slow engage about Xesam or any other 
wannabe standard.
