> but what happens when that draft is written on a software program that becomes obsolete? I hate this language, it's so incredibly deceiving. Flash was a 'proprietary standard' fully controlled by a profit-seeking entity; meaning support for it can be arbitrarily revoked at any time (which of course it was). I mean, can we really even call it a 'standard' if it's specs are black box and anti-interoperability? These big firms are just messing us around and playing tricks on us using language - there is no such thing as a 'proprietary standard'. Parasites, please will you consider using another name like 'proprietary straightjacket'? 'Proprietary standards' are anti-commons.
