The 6 W's of Standards
Cliff Schmidt of BEA has joined the Java.net blogging stable with a post about what standards mean to customers. The most important W is Why. (When I think of "Why", I always think of the scene in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, where Kirk tells Lt. Saavik "You have got to learn why things work on a starship".) In this case, why is important because if you know why customers feel standards are important, you may be able to offer them an alternative that doesn't suffer from some of the problems of the standardization process.
