When I read this I was reminded by Fred's post "A lesson from Morty." in that you need more than an "it's standard" argument to pull this off. I've always argued the same for standard terms but I'd love to see the real cost in hours or dollars to back up the argument.

BTW, great negotiating move with the CEO in question (assuming she's reading! ;-)
