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.
