The ANSI standards body has released a draft calling for the standardization of Everything. While mostly compatible with the ISO Everything standard, there are a few incompatibilities between the two. For example, the ISO standard calls for a writeup for "People who think the volume of the music is more important than quality" to be classified as an idea, while the ANSI standard states that it should be a person.

The ANSI Everything standard also calls for the addition of data types beyond person, place, thing, and idea, such as question and rant, but not the ISO definition.
