At the time we didn't want to standardize  our export token format.

In the lucid structure, the userspace code is responsible for making the
exported context right for what the kernel supports.
If we standardize something we'd need to standardize something
extensible and  the kernel would need to skip parts of it.

Here, note that by standardize I mean write down, not something within
the IETF.
