Why Standards?
In Why Standards?, Jim Waldo points out the difference between de facto standards and de jure standards. The most important point to be made is that standards bodies are not a place for invention, but a codification of existing practices. Rushing to standardize before there's enought existing practice to learn from is a mistake.

This quote is spot on: "The real goal in all of this, of course, is to get your competitors to (unknowingly) agree to some approach to technology that you and your company already have in a product". I guess we can take his word for it, since his bio claims that "he led the design and development of the first Object Request Broker, and was instrumental in getting that technology incorporated into the first OMG CORBA specification."
