Maybe if someone came up with a real, far from perfect, but decent proposal, 11 out of 10 would turn out to be fairly forgiving for a not-so-perfect-in-my-eyes design. As pointed out, it is about time something gets moving toward standardization on GUI. Boost.GUI would be a good start.
I think the Java example has shown very nicely that you can't standardize GUIs even if the language is controlled by a single company. And the needs of the C++ community are much more diverse than those of the Java community.
Personally, I'm certain that no standardization effort is going to be wasted on something like GUIs for _a very long time_ to come :)
