Well yeah the standard is pretty high, and for stuff like lockrings/cogs/cranks etc it's great for the street because of the strength, and their weight isn't really a drawback. But i'd always be cautious about frames, because they're raced hard before they're retired, and the metal is usually fairly thin. But then again they seem to survive fairly well.
Those european things that have been given the NJS stamp though, they're like peanut butter in a hot day on toast. Delicious to eat, but not so good to keep in the cupboard for a while, if you know what I mean!!124
