I was talking to a friend who is in different field. He had a long conversation with his coworkers about standardization in their line of work.
Although it can definitely be a good thing, he was discussing how it also tends to hamper a lot of efforts. It fits in with the notion of Best Practices. When someone signs off on these they are suddenly the holy grail (at a lot of places).
While it is great to mine experiences, we have to remember that best practices are really:
Best Practices So Far, And Please Remember the Context and the various Forces
This is a constant battle that we all face. We want to capture good things that we do and share that knowledge, but we don’t want to pigeon hole solutions so we don’t have the creativity to come up with a solution that is BETTER.

Well, you’re talking about the best case for standards: that they’re based on best practices and hard won experience.
Unfortunately, that’s at least as likely to not be the case, and it ends up being a compromise between big players based on what AppServer A already supports, what company Tool Vendor B just acquired, and a little bit of “leave some room for vendor extensions to lock users in”.
