You know, compiling a list of the US standards state by state might be
very useful for people developing courseware and curricula.  Outside the
US such things are generally more centralized, I think, and adding
non-US standards to such a list could be as easy as adding a new US
state's standards.  Anyone want to have a go at compiling such a list? 
It doesn't need to be comprehensive from the outset, but as more
standards are added it would become more useful.  Does the US Department
of Education keep information on the developmental standards used in the
various states in some centralized location?  If so, is it available
over the internet?
