Well, few people buy DVD's to look at them shine at different angles in the light. Most people buy DVDs because of what's on them, and how they play. If you couldn't use menus or the menus pointed to content other than what they said or had pointers to menus that didn't make sense, etc. it would confuse the buyer.

Standards allow more people to produce and distribute work, that's why it's important to have ANSI for basic things like the character sets we use, IEEE, ISO, W3C (HTML, XML, etc.), et. al. Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, et. al. adopt and proposes new standards so that new software will be developed. Standards leads to more content, because the methods are clear. -- Enric -======- http://www.cirne.com > > Your call, not mine.
