If the stealth implementations make their customers happy, where's the 
problem?   Many a fine protocol has emerged out of a stealth implementation.
    People seem to be willing to implement good standards, so if you see a 
lot of stealth implementations, it's probably because nobody proposed a 
standard, or nobody could agree on one.   In a situation like this, 
experimentation is good (as long as the experimenters don't patent their 
solution, anyway...)
