You do see the words "open standard" in the article, right? Now please go and check the references, come back and say sorry for being a jerk. A decent person would do so. Even if it was saying just "standard" it would still be OK. No, really. "Standard" has little to do with market coverage or the extent of adoption. It is merely a documented, accessible and hopefully rational way of doing or approaching something. Adhering to it is a choice. Perhaps you were thinking about "defacto standard"? Sometimes big businesses make a marketing cocktail of licensing/patent/branding/intimidation and call that mess euphemistically "a standard". Is that what you were thinking of? What were you thinking? Perhaps my idiomatic english skills leave a lot to be desired... Or did I just feed a troll?
