When a thing exists, the job of the standard is to standardize what
exists, and not invent some caricature of it.

In the process of standardization, the committee is supposed to exercise
it's judgement, and if that judgement says that there's a better way to
do something than the way for with there is existing practice, they have
an obligation to correct the design of that feature accordingly.

Feel free to disagree with the committee's judgement in this matter, but
don't presume that existing practice overrides good design - that's not
one of the rules the committee works under.
