Lake Zurich, IL		 Remember the geeks/nerds that got picked on in school? Those are the people sitting on the standards committees now, and they're determined to bask in the limelight of their fleeting power for as long as possible.

Standards bodies are usually so wound up in politics that getting anything out the door is a minor miracle. These standards groups are a good example of democracy run amok.

 I would agree that some standards body are very slow due to the political nature of things. However I think it's better to have a slow standards body that gets it mostly right the first time then one that rushes everything out the door as soon as it enters, bugs and/or issues included. While getting the latest technology stabilized and approved quickly can be advantageous, it can create a real headache for manufacturers and consumers when v1 and v1.1 and v1.2 aren't compatible with each other because there were major changes between them.
