I haven't reviewed the design specifications in detail, but I'm not aware of any lizards designed with binocular vision. This leads me to believe that either the lizards did not submit a requirement for this capability, or that the implementor did not consider user requirements. Given this sad state, the variability in lizard eye spacing is not surprising.

Perhaps ISO needs to consider the issue of standardizing lizard eye spacing requirements. It may also be advisable to ensure that a defect analysis is conducted on the requirements process, to ensure that eye spacing is not neglected in future lizard designs.
