I'll argue that the major problem with everything in software is that there is no place for random developers to discuss standards they might want to implement

For example, if drag and drop and copy and paste didn't exist, it probably wouldn't be created today because you need 2 programs to agree on accepting the format (you can't even drag and drop from most software except file managers...). And even conventions that ALREADY exist are being forgotten with every year.

Isn't there though? I feel as though actually there usually is a place to ask if you bothered to do so and the trouble is more than people don't even check.
