standard
     
         standards are necessary for interworking,
        portability, and reusability.  they may be de facto
        standards for various communities, or officially recognised
        national or international standards.
     
        andrew tanenbaum, in his computer networks book, once said,
        "the nice thing about standards is that there are so many of
        them to choose from", a reference to the fact that competing
        standards become a source of confusion, division,
        obsolescence, and duplication of effort instead of an
        enhancement to the usefulness of products.
     
        some bodies concerned in one way or another with computing
        standards are iab rfc and std, iso, ansi, dod,
        ecma, ieee, ietf, osf, w3c.
