A non-standard version of a standard
Standards are just ideas, in the part of the software world I frequent. I have/had a wonderful little app for displaying my GEDCOM that suddenly stopped working. This was a transfer mechanism, to get data from the PC onto iOS, and my PC version hasn’t changed in close to two decades. I imported the file into another PC program, exported the file back out (in what is called a “standard”) and was able to import back into iOS without a hiccup. On the developer’s site, no mention of anything changed, so I’m going to go with “no explanation available”. And carry on.
