At least people are looking at standards to get a feel for what is reasonable. If the spaces are shorter than the current standard but the manoeuvring space is wider, then perhaps the current standard could be reasonably used to say how much sticking out of the space is reasonable and how much is not.
I recall an occasion when parking was discussed and some people argued that anything less than 3m wide parking spaces were intolerable. A reading of standards would have been worthwhile then. The standard seem well thought out. Minimum widths vary considerably depending on whether there is the ability to borrow door opening space from an adjacent clear area or parking spaces and on whether the manoeuvring space is more or less tight.
