Help! Is there standardization in i2s?

I have been interested in upgrading my Streamer and DAC. If I purchased a DAC and Streamer from different manufactures will their I2s's (sorry) all mate with each other?
If not, will cable manufactures make i2s patch cords?

As I understand it, I2S has no standardization, only proprietary implementations.  That seems not likely to change in the marketplace.

It brings back memories of an old B&O receiver… I always wondered why?

Nostradamus and CAlifornia Psychics would agree that the 6moons article is informative…I 
looks like I might have to make my own cable.
