de facto standards

My comment:

"de fact": "nach Tatsachen", "in der Praxis" - wenn etwas als weit verbreitet und allgemein anerkannt gilt, auch wenn nicht durch entsprechende Institutionen formal festgelegt.

My comment:

I find the term "unreglementierte Standards" something of a contradiction in terms and therefore suggest departing slightly from the original on the basis that, in this case, the author must have meant something like "unofficial".
