yes but ...   HOWEVER, those things that are not "open", "standard- 
based" and/or "non-proprietary" must NOT be able to claim that they  
are. I just don't see how  you can have it both ways. If you want to  
claim some piece of work is a "standard", then, IMO, it must be  
vetted, scrutinized, approved, AND controlled by a "jury of its  
peers", so to speak, who can independently evaluate it.

I wouldn't characterize it as moral ( not sure what morality has to do  
with this), nor would i agree it is a personal bias (unless you are  
characterizing all opinions as "personal biases").
