A small convienience for individual projects and code perhaps but in terms
of creating code that can be used by others it would be hard to argue
against standardisation.

Sofar this discussion has focused exclusively on C, even on PC's C is rarely
C. Java on the other hand is built on theory.. a standard. I would be
curious to know how many PICSTERS have used java?

To me, this is a very minor inconvenience and costs very little time to
deal with. I don't think it has a chance to get standardized, because
architectures are too different. In this small micro area, many compilers
don't even adhere to the standards we already have... :)
