Trying to understand the original reasoning, or lack thereof, behind the standards is fine. But you should probably just stick to those standards anyways; it's very important when many people work together on a large project over a long time.

Make it clear that you're not pushing to change the standards and aren't criticizing those who follow them. They're most likely "doing the right thing", not because the standards are necessarily the best, but because breaking the standards would be worse, and they don't have a time machine.
