Governments in general are good a "policing" things*, such as 
deficiencies in specifications and persons trying to weasel around them.

At the same time, good specifiers write in "or better" clauses so that 
subsequent standards can be a few lines added to the original work.

We can tell that is broken in Canada when the CRTC does a request for 
comments ... but then rejects all the comments and proposed amendments. 
Oh, and resists publishing them (:-))

Have you seen that in the US?
