Ahem. It's not an 'SMTP standard' - in fact, SMTP doesn't even care diddly about the user-visible *headers* in the mail, much less what the convention for a signature block is. If you get EHLO, MAIL FROM, RCPT TO, DATA, '.', and QUIT, that's 95% of SMTP right there. And none of it where normal users can even see it (though the MAIL FROM can show up as Return-Path: sometimes). The '-- ' *convention* isn't even at the next layer up, MIME. If anything, it's out at the liveware level (though some MUAs provide code to make it a bit easier to deal with...)
