People's imagination is where standards come from.
People make them up and get agreement from other people to implement them.
- khedoros1 9y agoOn one level the code allows disabling color with a flag. On another level, the code provides support for a nascent attempt at creating a new standard. Software development is a social activity, and if someone wants to introduce new functionality, they have to convince others that it's a desirable change. Making up a "standard" is the easy part; I'd expect that convincing others to adopt it is more challenging.
