I love leaders. I've made a number of them in After Effects and add them to all my projects whenever I can. They're both useful and awesome. You can cram a ton of information in them, like producer, aspect ratio, title, director, actors names, legal stuff. It's like the fine print. The circle around the numbers also helps make sure the aspect ratio is correct, and the tone should be a perfect 1kHz tone on the 2 (this one is .88kHz) to help make sure frame rate and audio sync are correct.
I don't care much for standardizing leaders, especially with the way video is in today's world. If there is to be any standardization, it should be on what information should be contained within a leader. I think that 4 seconds of assurance that the film is being displayed properly is good, and that it's always good to hide some secret proof that it's your movie.
