The closest thing to a standard in this area is HyperCard 2.4.1.
Though HyperTalk only supports a subset of what is available in the
other xTalk products, what it does have is clearly the core of what
would be in a standard. Unfortunately, that implementation, just like
all the others, has its weaknesses and ambiguities and since it's not
even being developed anymore the odds of being able to use it as a the
basis of a real standard are very small (no language implementation
has ever made the transition to being a standard unscathed ;-)
