The Law of Standards
The Law of Standardsby John F. Sowa
In 1991, while I was participating in some standards projects, I sent an e-mail message to my colleagues, in which I formulated the following hypothesis:
Whenever a major organization develops a new system as an official standard for X, the primary result is the widespread adoption of some simpler system as a de facto standard for X.
I just wanted to record an interesting resource related to standards and complexity.
