I do wonder, though, if a standard that was implemented in layers (instead of all or nothing) wouldn't be more useful. (And maybe the ANS standard is. I have to admit I have never read it.) So that, if two words were doing exactly the same thing, they would at least have the same name/identifier. The closer you get to the core, the more naturally things are standard anyway. Is anybody really going to call DUP anything other than DUP anymore (except make it lower case, of course).
