Like that's gonna happen.
In remember a couple of decades ago, there was an AES meeting in which there was a discussion about standardization of audio "stuff".
Things like dbu vs dbv, 2.83V vs 1 watt and so forth.
It was brought up that the industry really didn't need to worry-because when it changed to digital-there would be just one standard and everything would interface flawlessly.
YEAH RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!! It is waayyy worse now.
It is a nice idea hoping people would agree on a standard-but the nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from
I recall attending meetings about control/interface standards at an NSCA show IIRC about 20 years ago. How did that turn out?
Controlling a mic preamp is relatively easy lifting but where is the incentive for competing manufacturers to agree on standards? Even something with obvious industry benefit like standardizing definitions for corrective speaker EQ remains unaccomplished.
Probably like midi any standard will come from a manufacturer or a group of manufacturers acting unilaterally to promote their arbitrary standard to the industry. Such standards usually create winners and losers so the losers will not go quietly into the night.

PS: I have lots of ideas but no clue about what the customers will embrace.
