Is it? I'd say it's usually rather because:

(a) Some of the competing standards wither and we get rid of them.

(b) Some standard emerges as the winning one and is adopted by everybody.

But very rarely by the addition of a new standard.

So, some standard emerging does not require creating standards?

And for competing standards to wither, there somebody must have created the other standards too.

I wrote "emerges as winner". Not "emerges period".

Which does not require creating a NEW standard on top of existing ones (N+1), since an already existing standard (of N) can emerge as the winner.
