Standardization, needed once again?
Abolutely. the MSX community was able to remain active until now, because of the standard. The current 'alternatives' have two major drawbacks
- You need drivers to create some sort of standard
- There are many many many many legacy limitations
Standardization is what MSX Association wants (and should want) indeed 
Yes, but isnt that just what MSX-A wants? To be able to (standard) communicate through different platforms? I think they can do that they once did. MSX was a very good example of how a standard works. They can do it again!
Internet has become sort of a standard. Only things you would need to do to communicate through different platforms with MSX is to put it online and work on internet clients/servers for MSX.

I can only agree with snout here. IMHO MSX should stay a standard as it was launched from the very beginning. With as little extra stuff like drivers (to make something a standard) as possible.
Of course, with the FPGA, you are free to create your own litte standards
