Don't give up so easily. :) 

What I really don't like are subject-specific ideas for projects (different
subjects can be handled through internal WikiProjects). You, however, implied a
general approach which I liked the sound of (a wiki devoted to all different
types of standards). 

That may be a viable concept - it may not. But there is nothing wrong with
proving the concept on Wikibooks if that project's format and goals fit
well-enough -  could make for a series of nice books/booklets. You may also
find that there is no need for a separate project.
