This isn't really that surprising considering that there aren't that many IT trade groups for specific industries. While I hate sitting in meetings as much as the next guy what this really requires is each industry's insiders forming a trade group and agreeing on coherent[0] standards, anything else and we'll be back here next week/month/year complaining about the same thing.
