Maybe this organization could adopt Vorbis as this new standard?
That would be great, but I don't think that is possible, because I'm
sure that this organizations will surely want some kind of copy
protection system (ultimately they could use Vorbis and add a
protection scheme). Also, this codec will not be free...
Somehow, at this point, the idea of this organization seems a
bit vague... their site (http://www.ism-alliance.org) doesn't have
much information (yet, I hope).

I agree.
