What I was looking for and did not see in all of this is something from Google stating that they are submitting VP8 or VP8+Matroska+Vorbis to a standards body. It's nice if it's patent free and open source but it isn't a standard until it's a standard... and I would prefer the independent review that the process would likely entail.

And which standards body should be reviewing this?

Whichever one Google prefers working with? ISO and IETF are the main technology ones. IETF requires disclosure of patents from participants, which may be a benefit (presuming ISO does not have such rules).
