I think that XrML 2.0 should be added to the spec list. http://www.xrml.org/index.asp. This spec covers digital rights management, and as far as I can see it has achieved fairly wide adoption. It is interesting that this is an entirely proprietary spec, with wide patent rights claimed by the source, ContentGuard, http://www.contentguard.com/. Nonetheless, as far as I can see it is plausibly achieving the status of a de facto standard. I have also found that my description of SPML (which I admitted I didn't understand_ was wildly off the mark. It would be a kindness if someone would provide a simple, two sentence description of what SPML is for and, if possible, whether there is anything else in that space. I note that SMPL seems to be about to be ratified by OASIS and, as far as I can tell, it is not particularly controversial. (Or maybe nobody cares because there is something else more popular in that space ???)
