AFAICS the standard is a document of agreed practice - not 'you do your
thing and I'll do mine'.  But perhaps you were never up for that?  I
can't say I was - not that I knew it at the time.  When one grows up in
an environment that peddles a certain idea, it can be sometime before
one realizes that's all it is.
