Yeah the way i see it, the reason we get so many &quot;standards&quot; is because commercial interests always want to build silos.<p>A &quot;standard&quot; is, imo, worthless if you have to supplicant yourself to corporation A, B or C to implement it.<p>Sadly the consumer world is more and more willing to do just that.<p>Observe how while IBMs attempt at siloing the PC with MCA went nowhere, &quot;we&quot; were all too willing to embrace Apple&#x27;s proprietary &quot;standard&quot; regarding device docking.
