I retracted my posting immediately because it wasn't well thought out. 
However, the least I wanted was to have "several" "standard" versions. 

So we all agree on this.

But even when I read my rectracted posting again, I can not imagine how 
one can come to the conclusion, that I wanted to have several.

I wrote about that some years ago and got no answer:
   what is an improvement for everybody---or
   what is the general usage?

Whithout an agreed definition on that, every change will make someone 
else cry.
