Dave Martin Question #7 |
Answers to Dave Martin's seventh question:
I would not recommend imposing standards. The only standards that really work are
the ones that grow out of community use. I don't think that
the clout exists for them to be adopted. The solution that I favor is to design
the systems so that they are sufficiently flexible to make use of a wide range
of standards and then to gently nudge the system in a given direction.
