Hello all,

Ok, so I have downloaded a draft and begun going through it (over 600
pages -- sheesh, that's going to take a while) :o)

In any case, it got me to thinking; If there is a standard, in what
instance is it desirable to write in manner that is not standard
compliant? Obviously there are books out there that teach
non-compliant methods, I guess I am wondering why that is?

What sort of language-specific madness was going on with this language
before the standard was in place?

Do all of the 'major' languages have standards? 

If anyone would care to explain/elaborate on any one of these three
questions, I would be very interested to hear what their thoughts were...

Nim
