 why standardize anything? 

contest  exchanges are getting shorter, more curt, more efficient.

do you want a shorter, more curt, more efficient, bowl of ice cream, or
apple pie?

just so your computer can digest what is sent without getting an upset
stomach?

what happened to nice and friendly.........i mean we don't need an
exchange like

R R R  FINE BUSINESS, GREAT SIGNAL YOU HAVE HERE AT THE COUNTY FAIR
GROUNDS, YOU'RE A GOOD 5 BY 9 OUT HERE IN GREATER PUYALLUP JUST SOUTH OF
TACOMA HERE  IN PIERCE COUNTY, WASHINGTON

but something a little more personal than ...............59 washington   
 papa india easy..............

even K7SS who has the all time record for contacts in the sprint ladder
gives a good impression of friendliness when he works you in a contest
