Huh? The IFF *IS* a standard well alive and further spreading.
If it would be limited to the Amiga world, who would care? It
sure does the Amiga so much good things that we can live comfortably
with it and further watch the rest of the world fighting with their
thousands of "standards". You brought up an interesting topic, but
sure IFF is not a very good example for it.
