The obvious riposte to that is, of course, "If we all did that then standards would be useless." I hope to head off a bit of sidetracking here, and push the concept of improving on a standard in an Open way to benefit users as being very distinct from the pig-headed I'll-dick-with-this-to-completely-break-it-for-everyone-but-me approach.
