To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Can you provide a reference to the official Megaminx standard, please?

I'm also not aware of a widespread community consensus on any other particular standard.

We have a chance to change notation between Twizzle alpha/beta/v1.0 based on community feedback, but there are several tradeoffs to consider. If you have prior art, especially in other software, those would be a helpful reference.

the DR and DL moves have been pretty standardized as seen through james macdiarmid's pll sheet (see h1+ and h1- plls) which is pretty well know in the megaminx community and the old megaminx scrambles used DBR and DBL as seen through qqtimer's scrambles (megaminx > old style) i guess
