AFAIK there has never been an intent to make it possible to write an implementation in Standard Forth. The objective has always been to standardize the interface between a system and an application. As soon as you start talking about a "standard way to make an arbitrary dictionary entry" you open a huge can of worms about exactly what needs to be incorporated in that dictionary entry, where it is, etc. None of these issues are really germane to using Forth to write applications, which its purpose.
