Date format is ambiguous; use ISO 8601 or RFC 3339
From 3 comments
"20-01-2015" - seriously?

Currency should use ISO 4217 codes instead of symbols

Make remote-friendly per role rather than per company
From 1 comment
Surely "remote-friendly" should be per-role not per-company? Some roles are much more remotable than others.

Questions
Why build a full standard rather than just a blog post
From 1 comment
In all honesty, I don't completely see how "a new standard" matches with "just an afternoon hack". If all you want is measure demand, why not write a blog post "Let's make a…
