But it is the only way I see cloud computing thriving in mainstream. I certainly didn’t mean to imply that making a standard is easy.

There is an answer today. At www.elasticserver.com you can assemble your application, save the template, and then configure it for multiple VM formats and Clouds. So first time perhaps deploy to VM or Xen, then next time tick the box for Amazon and deploy on EC2, all within minutes. No extra coding needed. Check it out.
