...in a message that was answered expertly by Charles Forsyth, who once 
again shows that he, a consummate implementer with a real passion for 
simplicity and elegance, should be the sole source of standards for 
everything in the world.

If the world cannot, with suitable inducements not necessarily excluding 
some arm twisting, induce Charles to take the job then there are another 
few dozen suitable candidates. But one really smart talented implementer 
surrounded by some smart guards to keep the supplicants at bay should be 
responsible for all standards, including how to turn on the freaking 
wipers on that rental car.
