Yes, that's certainly true.  It is a good, not a bad.

And if done correctly, interop does happen by magic.
You are reading this email, because email was standardized.  
It did not need to be standardized for technical discussion seperately
from being standardized for use with close relatives.

The precise profile of what is MUST, and what is MAY, is sometimes
delegated to other documents, but the base specification should not have
dozens of options if we expect to get anywhere.

    >> How do I form a network of game boys is my question.

You have to use OCP0. We have to specify that.
The document will likely want to say SHOULD for it.
