Well.  Perhaps I have been in the "real world" for too long, but it sure
looks to me like Greg wants to form an ANSI committee to standardize
FRP games.  ::-]  (smiling umber hulk)

Actually, I suspect that there are too many diverse opinions on what is
a good way to do something, or too much apathy on the part of those who
are actually capable of designing good rules (after all, they're all off
running their own games!) to get anything really worthwhile.

Not to mention the religious issue.

However, it WOULD be an interesting experiment to try.
