Remember last time they tried a universal media filesystem with UDF? It was implemented in the most incompatible ways as a token gesture by both Microsoft and Apple. These companies want their own, patented, proprietary fs so they can maintain lock-in.

The only way to get a universal standard is to have the community do it and have enough people use it that the big companies have to capitulate.
