From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]:

  standard
       
           Standards are necessary for {interworking},
          {portability}, and {reusability}.  They may be {de facto
          standards} for various communities, or officially recognised
          national or international standards.
       
          {Andrew Tanenbaum}, in his Computer Networks book, once said,
          "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of
          them to choose from", a reference to the fact that competing
          standards become a source of confusion, division,
          obsolescence, and duplication of effort instead of an
          enhancement to the usefulness of products.
       
          Some bodies concerned in one way or another with computing
          standards are {IAB} ({RFC} and {STD}), {ISO}, {ANSI}, {DoD},
          {ECMA}, {IEEE}, {IETF}, {OSF}, {W3C}.

From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) [bouvier]:
