I'm currently in the process of developing a security protocol spec in a
standards group, that will be deployed everywhere.

The reverse seems to be true. There is a desire to do some things new
(specifically to avoid X.509 and NIST curves and make things as brutally
simple as possible), but there is a NISE (Not invented somewhere else)
crowd that calls for external specs we can point to for all crypto things.
This leads down the slippery path to NIST, DSA and X.509.
