Ah, I think I see the misunderstanding here. Perhaps instead of "developer" I
should have
used "designer" or whatever word you use to describe yourself. My point was
not that
other people want us to do things, but that we ourselves want to do things.
The fact that
you do not want to use draft standard properties is commendable, and makes you
not a
part of the problem as I see it.
(fwiw, I actually /am/ part of the problem, but that doesn't really change what
the problem
/is/.)
