There is - it's called the ILD file format!
That IS the "standard", and the vast majority of the world that uses laser graphics seems to use it just fine!
Perhaps it doesn't do what YOU want it to do, bit it is the "standard".
"Standards", unfortunately, tend to be that way, be it file formats, hardware specifications, aviation procedures, etc., etc. There's almost always going to be "better" way to do something for some particular cases, but the "standards" generally fit the bill for the masses, which is the intent.
AND, in most cases, to get the "standards" changed, it takes direct, meaningful involvement - and a lot of time - actually spent working with the organization that created the standard. That time of involved, developmental change is rarely, if ever, going to be implemented by posting in an open online forum.
