Oh my! I absolutely didn't know this.

Worse than that I thought that the exact opposite
would be true.

Well then, this nullifies everything I've posted to IPS.

Just one thing to mention, though:
Writing a ``computer program'' to implement Protocol X
explicitly formalizes Protocol X. Should the industry
adopt a certain company implementation's behaviour,
then Protocol X has been formalized industry-wide,
which I thought was the document's function.
