To elaborate on my paraphrase of the famous line of the Danish prince, I suggest that we pause to consider (perhaps reconsider) the proposed exercise in simulation language standardization. My intent is not to be obstructive, and I beg the indulgence of those of you who are already muttering about "the same old tired arguments against standardization." My purpose is to identify three fundamental questions regarding language standardization, to share with you my answers to these questions, and to explore the rationale emanating from these answers. If the questions are irrelevant, inappropriate, or inconsequential, please accept my apologies. If the questions are relevant, appropriate, and of consequence and, more important, the answers seem meaningful, then perhaps we can perceive clearer directions toward the improvement of simulation methodology.
