It is because of things like this that standardization bodies have bad
reputations.  You can definitly smell a standard written by committee, 
with each member's own hidden agenda slipped in somewhere.

This will delay acceptance and conversion from the DEC-Intel-XEROX 
Ethernet standard quite a while, at least around here.  If it works,
why break it?

Standards are great; everyone should have one of their own.
