my beef is mostly that "these bunch of guys happen to do things in the same or a similar way" is not a standard.
It can be referred to as a pseudo standard at best, but until it's documented and accepted by multiple industry participants I would not consider the practice "standardized" and would try to use some other word with less connotations.
Pedantic enough?
