   You may ask, why aren't their standards in this area?  The answer
   is there will be soon.

Too soon.  Standards should arise by popular acclaim and widespread
adoption, not by pronouncement.  Too many issues are not yet fully
understood, and premature standards stifle real progress.  Worse, too
many standards are being declared for political and marketing reasons,
not technical.  Troubling times, these.

Yes, end users need to be able to use their computers conveniently,
and their computers need to be able to talk to each other.  And yes,
we've seen lots of progress because lots of very talented people have
been working very hard on this stuff.  But that's no reason to declare
The Final Word on Standards for The Rest of History already.  At least
let the technology shake down a little first.
