There was a problem hiding this comment.
How about something like "CNI [...] is a specification for container networking plugins. It defines how a plugin is invoked by an application to configure a network namespace. This repository also contains a Go library implementing the specification on both sides (the application, and the plugin)."
The word "standard" does not represent what CNI is actually trying to be.

Yes, good to remove "standard", and emphasise "specification". Thanks @steveej |
