>At the moment, if we want open, good and  developed in cooperation with a standards body, it seems that we only 
get 2 out of 3. At most.

For video, H.264 is available in open source implementations and the 
specification is available to read by all, the quality is more than good 
enough, and it was developed in cooperation with a recognized standards 
body.

I think you're looking for a word other than "open" to explain what you 
might not like about it... but the alternative you've proposed meets 
even fewer of these, and I would claim that the last is more important 
than the missing one you're thinking of.
