There are 1000's of ways of doing Kung Fu, if you standardize it, you will have only one way, and lose 999 treasurs, that will never be recovered.
I disagree. look at judo. It's very standardized. but you express it in your own way still. I for example like sweeps and pickups. there are guys I train with who live by hand throws, and others by hip throws. And even within those categories, we have techniques that we prefer, different stances, different setups, etc. your art is your art reagardless of standardization.
