I would add, that you need to draw a line in the sand between the 'consumer' (don't flame me, I am just struggling to find a better term) boards and those that are positioned for production/enterprise. We can't state that there is only one way that is the right way, that's not fair to anyone, and counter-culture to the opensource view. We can recommend a best practice, and I think this thread is a really good start at that, but it will always be a view that one can offer to the community. Adoption is a completely other thing.
Specifically for the 96boards, the spec is a recommended view, but its not meant to be constraining, however it does allow one to then show a best practice, that others can adopt. That's where the RPB comes in to play, again to demonstrate and not restrict.
