   Is anyone working on a standard keyboard layout?  Any such group is

If you get what you're asking for, you may find that you don't really
want it.  That's how the layout for the DEC LK201 was hatched in some
ISO committee.  As some sage put it:  "The LK201 layout is an
international standard.  That means the French can hate it as much as
we do."

I hate to think what ISO-standard artillery might look like :-)
