The nice thing about standards is there’s so many of them.

Very clever!

In the US standards are created either by industry, in which case they reflect the commercial interests of the parties, or by professional associations, in which case they reflect academic and technical politics.

And US standards are generally voluntary, rather than legally binding, so you can pick which standards and which options in standards to use, with or without modifications.

Yeah. RS-232 and RJ45 come to mind. 1,2,3,6 anyone?
