Yeah, and I'd like to add that we also shouldn't have a musician in charge of the standard, since s/he can drive the standard in the direction of his/her own favorite musical styles. ;-) (Actually, there's an important reason that programmers should at least be consulted regularly. There is a history of computer standard committees developing standards that can't be implemented. It would be good to avoid this.)
