While you may be right that a standard for stego in part defeats the purpose of stego, the problem of not having some sort of standard means that people with non-standard platforms (for some definition of non-standard) will be shut out. Standards for interaction are useful, and if the thing being stego'd is stealth PGP'd, then I'm not sure that the data pulled out of a stego'd GIF need be any different than noise.
