Incorrect implementation of standards or specifications by multiple organizations result in a requirement for implementation specific code and special case exceptions as a necessity for cross-platform interoperability. Notable modern examples include web browser compatibility and web-services interoperability. The arbitrariness of most software concepts, which is related to historical hardware and software implementation, lack of common standards worldwide, and economic pressures.

Sometimes software standards are controlled by private
corporations (the [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] GUI interface is owned by [[Microsoft]]).
Sometimes software standards are controlled by open, public,
or non-profit organizations (the Secure Shell 2 protocol is
'owned' by the [[IETF]]).
