Manual configuration of FD for 100 Mbps is not in violation of the standards. What the standards say (for 100 Mbps) is that *if* you have one end configured for autonegotiation *and* the other end is manually configured for full duplex, the autoneg end should end up as half duplex (with the inevitable errors as a result). This may be counterintuitive, but it's the way the standard is written. For Gigabit Ethernet autonegotiation is *required* by the standard, as other people already have pointed out.
