I take it that John's question is really *why* do these principles

that,
but my answer
is: because there is a real danger of some SDOs, including but not
limited to the ITU-T, breaking them for a variety of commercial or
political reasons.
JD: And how does this document prevent this abuse?
Of course a document by itself, even if it contains the nicest
principles, cannot prevent abuse.
So, see it rather as a writeup that tries to capture the understanding
of a number of SDOs.
JD: To what purpose? As an aside, I get the 'feel-good' aspect, but is there
anything more?
