It's quite an old standard (or more properly convention - AFAIK it's not 
part of any "standard document" as such).
I must admit, I thought it was an obsolete standard - didn't realize it 
was still useful. But a quick google around shows lots of references to it.

Mozilla Thunderbird automatically puts this in for you between the body 
text and the signature file (if used), and automatically trims it out 
when you do a "reply". AVG (free anti-virus) also uses it to help avoid 
accumulating messages.

I've switched over (back) to using this convention now - thanks Mark.
