Standardization isn’t something you can just throw effort at and expect it to deliver.
I often compare it to writing a hit song: being good helps, having a great marketing strategy helps, timing helps, having some funding helps, and so on.
Creating the standard is often just the last step once we already agree on 90% of it.
Don’t equate #interoperability with #standardization. The process of creating interoperable solutions involves so much more.

@pietercolpaert it's very true. #interoperability can be done with a lot of non standard solutions, small tricks and be closed. Like the way #meta do for #WhatsApp and #facebookmessenger :/
