a "standard" refers to a design that has been given an IP halo via group assent. It has *literally nothing* to do with the quality or utility of the design. These are totally orthogonal concerns. The world is littered with standardised designs that suck, or which are not adequately described so as to promote interoperability. Something "being a standard" is not a bar for consideration or adoption in all but the most risk-averse domains.
