Why is the Marriage data in the pedigree (landscape) view now standardized?
See my example at https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/135975/why-is-the-marriage-event-data-indented#latest
The display placename and date is shown on the old pedigree view, but the standardized ones on the new. Any reason? In this case, I think the change is probably for the better.
Note the difference shown in the two screenshots in my other, recent post.

The primary reason is so that the data can be understood by users in any language. As long as the date and place is standardized, we are able to calculate them correctly for any locale currently supported on the site, which, as you have noted, hopefully makes the experience better for everyone.

But showing the standardized version risks eliminating any important additional information that the displayed marriage information may contain. The pedigree view needs to continue to show the accurate displayed data rather than the approximate standardized data just like the detail page does.
