I think you're misunderstanding the point. The way you get IsStandard changed is that you make an application-oriented BIP detailing the use of some new standard transaction type (say, generalized hash-locked transactions for atomic swaps). We then discuss that proposal for its technical merits and reach consensus about the best way to do, for example, cross-chain atomic swaps. It is then implemented.
So please, focus on some BIP(s) detailing applications of hash-locked transactions, and we will engage more constructively -- I promise that I will as cross-chain atomic swaps scratch my itch as well.
