I do think that it is important that all vendors take the time to
fully implement the standards they have committed to.

As is evident we have discovered in practice that the 0-9
specification was not precisely defined enough; so that while two
implementations believe they conform to the specification they do not
interoperate.  This is being rectified by revising the 0-9
specification so that existing 0-9 implementations can be tweaked.
For full interoperability It is also imperative that all vendors
implement all of the specification, not just pick and choose which
bits they wish to implement.

I expect that all vendors who are committed to the standard will work
together in refining successive revision of the protocol with greater
degrees of precision which will all aid in interoperability.  I think
0-10 is a step forward in that direction.
