S88 Part 5 - Standard Profits - ?

How will this help us? How will it deliver standard profits? Do you even want standard profits?
The part 5 ‘blog’ has a couple of new entries , will they help?

A Device is a Device is a Device; But what if it is not? Now, I was at an early S88 meeting where device were seriously being considered for inclusion as standard terms. There was much discussion and it was agreed that the more generic term Control Module handles them perfectly within the Batch domain of the standard.
Now can anyone explain this statement?
“In many other implementations outside of where the ISA88 standard is applied the term Device is used such that the Device also contains the control that in the ISA88 the Control Module contains.”
OK, a few typo’s maybe, but the rest of the post make little more sense, and then goes on to refer to the MaketoPack report, which in no way helps to define devices.

Then we have
Replace babble of Control Components with understandable language, OPC help Dave believes “that the babble of internal proprietary communications between control components will be replaced by a universal method of communication”. And I hope one day that telepathy will be the normal means of communication, not least because my ears are failing. (No, it was not the Rock concerts, see cookie bite!)

Do we really need this - us the control system designers, plc programmers, systems integrators, and even the automation project managers?
Dave also says
“Until then a way to translate to the world outside the language of the proprietary environment is necessary . ”

Hey Dave, we have had those since the first pneumatic controls 60 or so years ago, not so much the pneumatics as the diagrams. And those diagrams have succeeded representing control for example loops (pneumatic then electonic then DCS) , relay logic, sequences etc
The diagrams have developed and improved over the decades. But I have a dread that someone in Part 5 is driving the standard towards using Ugly, Mangled Logic, or UML as it is known here.
