ISO/IEC standard?

Because you have to convince the national bodies that D qualifies 
as an international standard and that businesses around the globe 
will benefit from standardization?

Here are two death traps:

1. D does not have a formal specification.

2. ISO standardization is a global expert driven and consensus 
based process.

Even if D passed point 1), I somehow doubt that it ever would be 
able to move past point 2).

Keep in mind that the national bodies can provide their own 
expert representative. So, the design of D would have to pass a 
panel of experts.

C/C++ were defacto industry standards which made it much easier 
to get a free pass on poor design decisions.
