You'd use (or set up) a web service you trusted. It would presumably have some sort of polling mechanism, ATOM update or whatever that allowed it to be up to date. The point is that there could be several such services, none of which would be normative. Only each standards organisation's lists would be authoritative - and there would need to be a degree of trust that the standards organisations would cooperate such that the multiple lists would be in sync. If an organisation ended up with a reputation for assigning new meanings to existing links, well, they'd soon be left out of the picture, but that's a very unlikely scenario I'd say.
