And therein lies the rub. Who's standards? Let's have one standard view of the world that everyone can (be forced to) agree with. It's bad enough in medicine where the mainstream are trying to squeeze out things they don't agree with. But in a "virtual" environment where just ab out everything is fluid, who decides what is standard? The biggest players would, of course. I'm sure we can trust them to look after us... And how much is that going to stifle innovation?
