That's exactly what I meant.  For such a collection to be really useful, 
I believe that standards would be a necessity in order to facilitate 
usability.  Of course, if people don't want to conform to the standards, 
then you could still reference their files (or even host them on the 
server), but they should be kept separate from the main archive.
