I've read some of this and it's good stuff. I guess where I was coming from was that OOP is already so scatter shot and widely used as such that even if somebody did formalize something based on OOP, it wouldn't be generally accepted as "the OOP standard". So many people have an idea of what OOP is based on the language they've used, and I doubt that if somebody formalized OOP tomorrow that everybody would rush to make their languages compliant to the model.

That being said, I suppose that a solid new language with formalized OOP models that was very useful could become the next Java/C++. Time (and marketing) will tell. I would be very excited about such a language >_>.
