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. :-)
