You're not the only one. The OASIS attempt at a standard was called XDI, specifically the Link Contracts portion of XDI. It failed to achieve traction, in large part due to political opposition. If you want to talk more about this, and possibly another go at a standard, please tweet @BillBarnhill. I am working on something myself that attempts to take some of the core concepts I introduced to XDI (I was a co-chair for a long time) and apply them in a more de-centralized and async way, called ADDI (Async Data Discovery and Interchange).
