Maybe you're right.  But if Walter hasn't stripped Phobos DWT of its 
'standard' title, I think technically it still applies.  But it might be 
more practical to consider neither to be.

I guess what's really needed is for both DWTs to be maintained in 
parallel.  Or maybe merge into one DWT that's versioned for the two. 
Who has experience of writing dual-mode libraries like this?  (SDWF is 
dual-mode for D1 and D2; I'm guessing it could further be made 
triple-mode for Tango as well.  Even quadruple-mode once we have a Tango 
for D2.  Anyone fancy trying it?)
