Linux standard gains big-name backers (News.com)
The LSB never "enforced the inferior RPM as the package standard", it merely required that conforming distros be able to read RPMs. Whether that's done with the rpm command or alien or whatever else, it didn't (and doesn't) say.
As to Red Hat, it always seemed to me that SUSE was more conformant to the spirit of the LSB than Red Hat, although both may have conformed to the letter. (The difference being in things like locations of actual files vs symbolic links to files, etc.)
