Apparently Mike Padlipsky lived in vain [1].

I'm surprised you did not mention his work. Defining and critiquing the reference models in the case of the ARPAnet and OSI was his thing. Much of it was published in a (quite funny) book The Elements of Networking Style[2], partially taken from some of his RFCs.
