Do you mean here just one way of submitting the drafts or do you mean just one way of producing the specs, and that all editors should use the same build system? I hope you didn't mean the latter. Many groups have a lot of investment in tailored build systems to meet the requirements of their specs. Certainly the ones I know most about: Math and (by observation) XQuery/XSLT have a lot of investment in XSLT2 based pipleines, HTML has its own anolis build system etc. Any system is of course replaceable, but replacing the build system and getting back to an equivalent spec would be a complicated and error prone undertaking.
