The more a-priori complexities we add to the protocols and formats, especially 
without PRIOR implementations, the closer we move towards de-jure standards (the 
domain of politics and big companies) and the further away we move from de-facto 
standards (the realm of Darwinian invention and innovation, where most of the 
rest of us live).
