What do you mean? Are you saying that host developers don't always and
automatically do what network operators want them to do? If that's
motivated by the fact that they are acting in their users' interests, it
seems to me that they are justified in doing so, and in fact, would be
remiss not to.

That doesn't mean "we've been violating the standards, so now the standards
have to change to match what we've been doing, even if other parties are
depending on the standards", does it? :-)
