To encourage people to gather around a single standard would be
top-down, not bottom-up, the "top" being this one single standard, and
the "bottom" being all the software projects that are being encouraged
to implement that standard.
With bottom-up i mean everybody can take pro-active initiatives "at the
bottom", and we use this forum to compare notes and learn "up" from each
other ("describe").
With top-down i mean trying to reach consensus ("top") and to prescribe
that consensus "down" to the software projects.
