The templates represent the community's consensus about what they want
citations to look like.  They are often originally based on standards but then
deviated because at some point in the past the community decided those changes
made them better.  There is no reason that the templates couldn't be used to
implement letter-perfect versions of essentially any real-life citation
standard if that is what the community wants.  However, first you'd have to
convince the community that they want "real-life standards".  

The choice to adopt referencing standards, or not, is one for the community to
make, and should generally not be enforced directly by Cite.
