Couldnt agree more. It's all just creating extra layers on the onion, in the illusory expectation that those will be more 'standard' than the ones below. Commercial forces will make sure that such interfaces will diverge anyway. And more often than not they just exist to ensure some intermediate parasites can profit from them. It sometimes makes me think of they way tomatos are being distributed and sold here in Italy. They will travel up and down the entire country (either physically or just virtually) a number of times before ending up in the shops. Both the producers and the consumers are ripped off by middlemen taking their profit on redundant steps. Ciao, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities.
