Well, for example, there are (maybe?) physical specs for the  
dimensions and appearance  of the external shaped strain-relief part  
of the USB connector, right?  I myself have run into the annoyance of  
being unable to plug a flash drive into a USB slot on a computer,  
because the slot next to it was occupied and didn't leave room for  
the THICKNESS of the drive.
