Wait, so you're suggesting developers shouldn't adhere to specs but instead develop their tools / libraries according to whatever they feel it is the cool kids currently do?

i fail to see much difference with:

>>develop their tools / libraries according to whatever they feel it is the cool kids currently do?<<

Have you considered replacing/creating/updating RFCs/BCPs relevant to your field?
