As sections of the reference model are validated through use in
the field and evolved to reflect maturation of the underlying
standards, standards bodies such as IEEE and the W3C will consider
them as the basis for accredited standards. Again, this in not
a one-time, one-way process - refinements are fed back from the
accrediting process as improvements are rippled forward from the
specifications consortia. ADL continues to perform the
pivotal role of distilling potential standards from recommendations
and real-world practice.
