The problem isn't standards per se but rather a combination of
unthinking adherence to past standards and excessively slow
standards-making bodies.  Well-documented industry standards increase
competition, lower consumer costs, increase quality, and accelerate
innovation.  (This might explain why Microsoft tries to corrupt
standards whenever it can.)
