IMHO an universal book standart is a nice idea. Then people who like tuning
opening books could use them on more than 1 program,. more than 1 programmer
would write tools to make opening book editing in this format easier, and
programmers could benefit from tuned books even if its not their games that
found the holes ... (not I am using tuned in a completely positive or neutral
way here)

Of course the problems are obvious, who would want to abandon "his" standart,
and how do you merge books?
