Hmm,

A grant funding application is a contract between a funding body and a
recipient. If they want they can make it a condition that you stand on your
head on tuesdays, and you'd have to comply. I don't believe the government
is attempting to enforce the standard. It's just that standards compliance
is generally useful, so those with power (eg fund holders) look to the
standards that exist and try to promote them.

However it's not directly a problem for us yet so I'll remove the access
keys, quietly forget they were ever there and hope no-one notices.
