With respect to 9151588, I think the issue here is that to compare standards, you have to know the performance of the things that you are comparing. It's difficult to know that until you actually put the new thing into practice of some sort and test it out. Would we put a car without a steering wheel on a public road? No, probably not.
I think that in order to make a proper standards comparison, you have to have standards established. However, the nature of these things that are being introduced is such that there are no standards yet, which makes that proposition somewhat untenable.
