That's not a standard, it's a common practice. It only becomes a standard when it gets documented and everyone interested in implementing it agrees to follow the document.

Unfortunately, the documentation doesn't need to be open source, and often isn't. (For example, in the building industry.)

Same with HIPPA. If a standard is required by law, access shouldn't be gated and the document should have the same copyright status as law.
