I ran into this on a government contract that wanted videos of certain things submitted in, per specification, "high definition digital video" okay 1080/60 it is.

Oh, no that's too big for them to email to their antiquated consultants, turns out they want 15MiB max video clips.

Well to do that I had to step down to 720/30. Which they then complained wasn't clear enough for their uses. Three rounds of RFI later I'm back as square one, they've defined HD as 1080/60 and they say they'll figure out how to distribute the clips. Just annoying as all get out when they could have started with clear language (numbers) to begin with.
