> "Instead of relying on old standards, the engineers are looking ahead"

There's nothing wrong with new standards. This might in fact be an excellent way to do things.

The problem is giving new, completely different standards the same name as old standards. "Normal" non-tech people would be just fine with this feature if you named it something different like "save and duplicate" -- and tech people wouldn't be caught off guard by the system misusing common tech terminology to mean something totally different.
