For me, simple concepts are best, and the simpler the better.  Standards based
computing is something that appeals to old codgers like me who have wrestled
with a thousand implementation specific details and then swooned at the sight of
a lovely standard.

Well, it's hardly a revolutionary idea, but it would make the tools a lot easier
to use for the end-user.  Look at the incredible boon offered by having programs
conform to the Winboard interface.  Now they can play against each other and all
sorts of wonderful things that would have been a pain in the rear before such an
advent.
