    What users interpret `standardization` to mean may be different than what 
it means in Spark, sure. I wasn't around when that design choice was made. 
    
    Standardization is **always** done internally because it improves 
convergence. When no regularization is applied, you can verify that the two 
scenarios:
    
    * training on scaled features and then converting the coefficients to the 
unscaled space
    * training on un-scaled features
    
    produce _the same coefficients_. So, instead of literally not standardizing 
the features when standardization is false, we just do it anyway because it's 
better for convergence, and it doesn't affect the results. 
    
    However, when regularization _is_ applied, the results are not the same. 
The l2 loss, for example, is `sum beta_j^2`. But the coefficients that we are 
using during training are scaled coefficients (since we always scale), which 
are effectively `beta_{j, scaled} = beta_j * sigma_j`. We need to 
"unstandardize" the coefficients for the regularization part of the loss 
because their scales do matter. If we didn't unstandardize them, we'd change 
the regularization loss to `sum (beta_j * sigma_j)^2`, which would not be 
correct if the user wished not to train in the scaled space. 
    
    Do I think this is all a bit confusing, especially for users? Yes. I 
believe this was done to match glmnet. I think it's fine the way it is, but 
that discussion is for another JIRA anyway.
