Imagine if we were discussing a building, and the building codes specified
that since physical key standards vary, all entrances would have doormats
under which one could find a key that opens the door.
The problem comes from the naivete of IT standards bodies about matters of
authority. City Hall must be behind the standards, and must see that they
are enforced.
