What are you talking about ?? What standard is there for x86 for example ? Do 
you mean gas' at&t syntax or the intel syntax? And would using gas' at&t 
syntax in your opinion lock us into gcc&gas as those are the only widely 
known compiler using it? The situation might be entirely different on the 
apple of course, but I have no idea what you are talking about.

That I mostly agree with.
