When are these things going to get at least half-way standardised to

USB (nominal 5v up to 500mA) is slowly creeping in as a defacto standard
on many things but frequently without the smarts that really should be
there for proper negotiation to get 500mA. How kit behaves when connected
to something that doesn't current limit to 100mA without negotiation seems
to be a little variable.
