I think standardization is a wonderful idea. Imagine, the best of Circle, Diku, MOO, MUSH, ROM, etc. etc...all written from scratch to function in a single codebase, with all the stuff that limits their current codes tossed aside or re-worked to make them more efficient and useable. Then adding other things that existing codebases might lack....
The possibilities for variety in muds would be just as endless as they are now, but the possibilities for -quality- muds would be improved a hundred-fold, because the code-base would be just -that- malleable.
