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.
