Unfortunately you fail to realize that there is no such thing as a universal truth regarding programing.
I'm fully aware of that fact and there doesn't have to be.

What I propose is one set of rules for a specific language that is accessible to any Programmer of said language. Programmers choose to follow this set of rules of their own free will. For the purpose of explanation, lets call this set of rules, the Blitz3D Framework of Standarization or B3DFS for short.

With B3DFS, I also propose a group and individuals who demonstrate expert knowledge in its ruleset be empowered to review Source Code for compliancy and award a Certificate of Compliancy to Programmers whom source code is compliant with B3DFS. This concept is no different than assigning a Moderator to a forum.

Certificates of Compliancy could come in the form a Fancy Logo w/ ID# that Programmers advertise with their source code. This advertises to other Programmers that source code is written a specific way using the set of rules in B3DFS.

My key point is that the Programmer has the OPTION to use B3DFS or not. If they do use it and certify their source code, other Programmers who use certified B3DFS Source Code are empowered to read and expand that source code.
