It might be useful to provide your definition of a protocol...

You have described the messages only, which alone has never been enough to define a protocol.

That’s a step in the right direction, but omits quite a lot, e.g., longest prefix lookup of destination bawd tables that point to next hop interface and up address and more than a few other parts like definitions of most of those extensions and limits there upon.

Not if you comply with the *protocol*.

You can redefine the bits’ behaviors and meanings, but that would be defining a new protocol, at which point there’s little utility if any in keeping the bit patterns the same.
