How about starting with getting Electronic Arts to publish the DMCS format?

More to the point, and enhanced SMUS is easily possible under IFF. Just make
new chunks.

If a new format isn't IFF, I don't want to know about it. The fact that so
many of these music programs decided to abandon IFF has been a major sore
point.

Finally, how about adding the very slight enhancements needed to make the
MIDI File Format an IFF form? It's basically IFF without the FORM header
and the alignment requirements anyway. Designing a FORM MFF would be cake.
