Is it appropriate to just say "When installing fiber-optic cable the vendor will ensure the resulting installation does not suck."? That would seem to me to be the most direct solution to the problem. I mean, standards are all well and good, but what if the standard sucks? Then you'd be up a creek. Maybe there should be a legal definition of the concept of suck, so that suckage could be contractually minimized.
