It all depends on what you mean by enforced. Apple doesn't need to enforce
the interface, the users do. People who muck around badly with the interface
don't sell product. People who muck around well with the interface sell well
and have their best ideas borrowed by other developers. With people voting
with their pocket books, who needs the Interface Police?
