Since
everyone wants to do the protocol their own way, we'd just have a
multitude of protocol variations rather than more flexible
interoperability.
it could be argued, that if there was absolutist conformance to
standards, we could move forward even faster. There is literally a
20% developer tax on debugging css and html to make it work with most
browsers. Many compromises made to satisfy the lack of strictness. I
am not totally disagreeing with you, I am not known to make ascii art
in emails :) but I do think we would have a better systems if
standards were more adhered to.
