There is definitely a trend towards "Consensus Standards", but it's far
from ALL. The DoD has found out it's not nesessarily any cheaper,
since he standards setting bodies don't generally take up a standards
unless someone is willing to fund it.

If you have to have a research, development, and engineering
establishment anyway to find good ways of doing things, you may as well
have them write up the results of their research into a spec.
