Running code as part of an open standards policy
,----[ Quote ]
| Governments around the world are considering implementing or even mandating
| open standards policies. They believe these policies will provide economic,
| socio–political, and technical benefits. In this article, we analyze the
| failure of the Massachusetts’s open standards policy as applied to document
| formats. We argue it failed due to the lack of running code. Running code
| refers to multiple independent, interoperable implementations of an open
| standard. With running code, users have choice in their adoption of a
| software product and consequently economic and technological benefits. We
| urge governments to incorporate a “running code” requirement when adopting an
| open standards policy.
