What has been done in this ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 34? I am not sure this was an old concept or not, as so many standards existed. I saw that its webpage was dated 1998. We have seen many specialized SGML and XML results, but not sure if they have been used. Maybe a need assessment should be done before deciding a commitment.
My 2 cents...

Last year, INCITS withdrew its support and therefore the U.S. has not been a P-member of JTC 1/SC 34. The NISO Board of Directors feels that this is an important gap in the standards leadership worldwide and has discussed taking over this responsibility. To take on this responsibility, NISO will need to form a new Technical Advisory Group to determine US positions on JTC 1/SC 34 issues, much as we have done for ISO TC46.

After consulting with the Working Group members as instructed by TC 46/SC9, the recommendation is that the current standard is sufficient for the improved services and the revision is no longer necessary.
