Am I getting into apples vs oranges here?
Yes. In some areas (such as crypto, whence I came), if you did
not follow the standards, then you would not interoperate. There were
no testing labs for compliance (as there was for FIPS, for example).
I recall compliance tests for ANSI C but that stopped with the
adoption of ISO C (if my aging memory is correct).
