I can tell you: Because there is not yet existing a standard that
could be published.

But is net memory so short? Does nobody remember those ads for hiring
people for Amiga software engineering to produce exactly this thing?
So, they are sure on it. Can't tell how fast these developments will
go, but they've been told by so many people from the net and also 
from Commodore internal that this is needed. And I know they have
good ears to hear to the people.
