I could see some guidelines becoming standards, it would be an easier
process than starting from scratch since a lot of the arguments have
already been had.  But it is a different set of people setting those
standards and I'm sure an additional round of editing would occur.  But
having a well-reasoned (I hope) starting point with rationale behind it is
huge.
