It's true that is a de facto standard, but it is so only for windows machines, right? So given that there is no prior art in the unix world and that the sane userbase is (I think) almost Linux, there's no particular reason to go for it. SANE2 is a rewrite but it has a sense of coherence with SANE1 and with the user base. > Btw.
