Well, your suggestion is a good idea. They (meaning the IEEE/ANSI folks)
have a POSIX standard. Isn't that about UNIX? Why not have one for
frigging message-passing extensions to it? Or an altogether new
standard for the message-passing OSs? Lot's o' problems with this
one.
Lobby your local IEEE office and see what happens. :-)
