Author of that doc here. I cannot agree with you more. I have tried to be a bit more polite about that point of view. It's is complicated and very unnecessarily so at times. Lots of gaps as well. The main hope I have is that there are a lot of players involved in this (such as BIDMC) who could drive some change.

Thanks for the comment

Being polite is in good part what has allowed the situation to degrade as far as it has in our industry. Bozos and yesmen. I understand why you might be more diplomatic though! :)

We're working on an open waveform format to replace WCM, for example, and the amount of silliness there staggers the mind.

Who are you aware of that's actually interested on working on a slimmer, easier-to-use system for this stuff?
