The distinction is a significant one, especially since the original message was trying to draw a connection between the Ada "standard" and the Web "standard", but in fact they are standardized in quite a different meaning of the word -- and what is important is that Ada has a legal standard. I am not saying that industry "standards" are not important, they are often quite important, just that we have two very different meanings of the word, which should not be confused.
