Interestingly, the various Standards Organisations have operated
successfully for decades using a structure that assumes all those
involved are gentlemen. Suppliers, purchasers and those regulating
the safety, etc of 'widgets' (in the general hardware sense) want
standards to facilitate procurement and international trade, as well
as an assurance of quality and safety standards.
The system was never designed for the sort of abuse that Microsoft is
trying on.
