Thanks for clearing up your position. I guess it is like the World Wide Web
Consortium standards (http://www.w3.org/). Although, thank goodness nobody
has taken the role of Microsoft, yet. :-)
Perhaps you could create a links page for non-standard ideas, on it you can
put a disclaimer stating the modules do not conform to the defined standards
and are not 'endorsed'. After all, I know we don't want to hinder the
creative process.
Just thinking out loud,
Jude
