I firmly believe that if every fucker designing those standards had to provide 2 different reference implementations (say 2 different languages so idiosyncrasies don't leak into design) plus full test suite for every feature we'd be with far simpler and better working standards, coz maybe someone will realize "fuck, this is hard to implement right, maybe we should rethink it?" Instead it's yet another standard that looks like someone that fell out of the ivory tower outhouse.
