THe government is not using eminent domain, as it is not appopriating any private tangible property. Moreover, it is a simple matter to evade copyright by simply changing the language in whatever laws are adopted. Finally, if any organization were to attempt to demand compensation for its "standards" it would quickly find itself ignored and its standard would be worth less than the electricity used to render them.
In other words, the standards body would not be entitled to any compensation, nor should it expect any compensation if it has any hope of its "standards" becoming law.
