This looks like a solution in search of a problem.

A boring looking resume thats like all the others might be good enough for SAP but would get filtered out my me immediately.

Coding is a creative process which requires a certain sense of craftsmanship, and a resume is like a buisseness card. It's an opportunity to express yourself and show of some of your skills and also your personal style and flavour.

Sending me a Latex, ASCII Art, Minimalist HMTL, Fancy HTML, JSON Chunk, tells me a lot about you as a dev and person already.

Defining a standard for resumes and then sending me a resume in said standard would also be impressive and cool for an individual resume that I receive. But once you take somebody elses standard and send it to me you'll just come across as boring.
