I changed "It must be an open, patent and royalty-free standard; to: "It must be an open and royalty-free standard, without artificial monopolies or oligopolies favoring particular suppliers." For two reasons: 1. Today there are many defensive patents put in place to protect free/libre/open computational ideas; 2. The are several types of artificial monopolies that operate like patents to restrict competition -- e.g. the SCO case against Linux was in the copyright realm. There are also a variety of government procurement contract types that obstruct competition.
