The concept of a colorgrading metadata standard is relevant, but  
could it be achieved without stifling internecine progress through  
compeitiion?  Standards sometimes pave the way with a flawed pattern,  
such as not to be discovered until much later-- de facto standards  
especially, such as those that have prevailed in the desktop PC  
environment.  Let any such conceivable 'standard' take into  
consideration all that might be discovered in the time before such a  
standard is revised.
