I'm not making the argument from a technical perspective, but from a cultural one. Culturally, this stuff works best if there are bazillions of instances out there, not thirty.

PHP offers that, and I don't think I can name anything else that I can say that about.

IMO if this thing is worth anything the value is in the protocols, not the code. I hope you're envisaging other implementations.

On vaguely which subject, is there some documentation of the protocols anywhere? I had a quick look on the site and couldn't see anything like that.
