The technology is there, for sure, but you are assuming there is a single governing body for all publishers which will oversee this project.
Unfortunately, there's competing interests, copyright holders, royalty receivers (and I'm not only talking about authors here).
They all have to have their say. This means design by committee and we all know how well that works.
