I wrote this piece for TheServerSide.com last week, a result of a post that got a wee bit too long. I was reading some of TheServerSide Symposium reports and noticed a lot of the "all standards, all the time" attitude being passed on there, so I decided to provide a counterpoint.
Based on the positive comments I've seen on my piece, it looks like I wasn't as alone in this line of thinking as I may have thought. I'll try to be more divisive next time.
