In terms of getting LSA approval:
I suspect the law will only change if and when at least one manufacturer meets ASTM consensus stds, then hires a lobbyist or works himself through his congressional representatives to both jump thru the FAA's new hoops (an FAA monitored test program) and ASSURE that when the hoops are cleared he gets a green light. This is a long term and somewhat expensive project.
In the interim the industry (PRA, EAA)could confront the FAA on the LODA issue as it is clearly NOT contributing to safety.
