No standard is ever perfect or completely done.  If you have that frame of mind then you will publish what you think is a perfect standard and be very tempted to never change anything again.  Thinking that you have a perfect standard actually makes it tend toward imperfection.  Your standard will get stale and you may still think it is perfect.  Your standard will be outdated and you will still think it is perfect.<\/p>\n<p>So &#8211; get it into your mind that it is always about 85-95% complete.
