Yes.

The "current standards" are basically what most software do today,
i.e. what users expect, which means dialog boxes (and partly
formalized by CUA and the Apple style guide, but I'm not using
standard in that sense of the word).

However, the "current standards" change all the time, and it would be
more fun to try to reach the point they are moving towards, rather
than at the point where they used to be.
