This is another attempt at a minimum addition in the same "voice" as our other principles to satisfy what appears to be a rough "can live with" consensus overlap in opinions in issue #177, re-using wording from Open-Stand as noted in comment #177 (comment) without objection.

I added the line break but disagree with wordsmithing the text as you suggested, text which I copied from open-stand .

I'm not following the logic of the "and thus", it feels like a non-sequitur... maybe you can explain a bit better?

different use-cases and industries have different needs (or lack thereof) for different standards, thus it makes logical sense to make them all voluntary to allow adoption as needed by use-cases. that's obvious enough that it doesn't merit growing the text. or others may create lengthier guides that expand upon the principles
