<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>The word &#039;&#039;&#039;standard&#039;&#039;&#039; can mean several different things in the context of [[Consumerium protocol]] and [[Consumerium buying signal]] and [[healthy signal infrastructure]]:<br /> <br /> *a [[de facto standard]] like the [[wikitext standard]] or [[PDF]] format, which are called standard simply because it is impossible to ignore all the data stored in them, and inconceivable to rebuild or retrain all the people using them; [[IETF]] [[RFC]]s also generally count as de facto standards<br /> *an [[ISO]] process standard like [[ISO 9000]] or [[ISO 14000]] series, or [[ISO 19011]] [[accounting standard]]<br /> *an [[ITU]] hardware standard relevant to [[telecom]], important to cut [[e-waste]] (if it&#039;s standard, presumably, it lasts longer)<br /> *an [[IEEE]] software standard like [[POSIX]] (and perhaps soon [[REST]])<br /> *a specification approved by [[W3]], [[Java]], [[X/Open]] or other [[consortia]]<br /> *[[FSF]]&#039;s advice, often taken as gospel by [[free software]] aficionados, though Debian also has influence in this ideology</div>
