I once had to implement a Swedish standard for energy usage reporting.
EVERY FIELD IN THE STANDARD WAS OPTIONAL.
That was one of the most not-fun times I've had at work :D Every single field was either there or it was not, depending whether the data producer wanted to add them or not, so the whole thing was just a collection of special cases.
