I think there is a widening chasm between the folksonomic 
application of web technologies and their specifications. 
It begins to look like music theory: what the books say 
is correct and appropriate versus what the performer and 
composer know just works.

Common practice like common law is the living part of 
the system of rules.  It establishes precedent by proof 
of solving a problem by individual cases submitted for 
consideration in the context of the current problem. 
That is why Roger's approach is successful and useful.

The web transcended the rule of the politburo over its 
evolution a long time ago.

This viewpoint may be application specific, but I think it's pretty
generally applicable?
