this is a really great idea
a cooperative contest wherein although
there is competition, there is an underlying
desire for a cooperative outcome.

the only problem is that a standard is made
by people actually using the idea in their MOCs
so just wining the contest wouldn't guarantee
that the winner would become the std.

but it IS a good start.

i'm getting ready to host my first contest
so i can practise. then i'll attempt the airlock
contest, or mark can do it, his last contest
was in august...

How about this idea: hold a contest.  Post it in lugnet.build.contests

the most popular can be adopted as "the standard".  The submitters
should also agree to give up the intellectual property ownership of
the standard to the public domain.

There could be two separate categories: minifig and cargo.  Also there
might be separate airlock and non-airlock versions of each.
