One thing I can tell you for sure.... A federal spec is by no means an indicator that something is "the best", simply that it is "good enough" and tested.

You've been selling rifles to the government? Didn't think so.
You are broadening the subject base to unrelated areas. That said, since the armed forces are "laggers" and "lag behind for years on new/improved technologies", have you considered that MUCH new technology has resulted from military development. For example, how about GPS (darn, those laggers). How about the F22? Now there is a real example of lagging behind current technology.
