Default USB chargers, anyone ?

I've seen the USB 2.0 specs, and they're beyond unbelievable. You'd think
what appears to be a simple interface would take only ten pages or so to
define, but it takes 10 or 20 times that.


And the code is far worse, I'm told. There's a reason why
Firewire does so much better than USB2 at moving lots of
data....

But I agree it is a great success at the universal aspect....
