Standard DITA processing instructions?

I hope this is not 
taboo to suggest, but...

 

Is it in the TC 
purview to provide a way for DITA application developers to undergo some 
level of coordination for processing-instructions for common user 
events?

 

For instance, if 
there were a common nomenclature for "change tracking" PI notation, an author, 
editor, reviewer, and publisher could use the most appropriate tool for his/her 
specific function and the change tracking feature would work across those 
different purpose-specific tools.

 

Something like this 
would allow DITA files to be exchanged where not only the content is guaranteed 
to be interoperable, but also commonly used application 
"features".

 

 

bracing for the 
blow,
