In this case, what's best for display ads is subordinated to what already exists for text ads. And therefore the mistake. I never really thought Google 'got' display although obviously the DoubleClick acquisition changes that.

I'm compelled to believe that google has a reason for going the direction they have....they're typically cognizant of existing standards because they realize it's in their own interest to do so...... this sounds like a calculated move as opposed to a misstep....but we'll see....
