The metaphor I'm trying to use this week is that the IETF is
landscapers and we provide a fertile, beautiful area for people to go
wild and create excellent gardens.  What you're describing is not a
bug, it's feature.  It means the IETF have done their job.  If there
were interoperability problems in the fundamental and/or widespread
technologies being used in the Internet, then there would be a problem
(we're working on those).  Congratulations.
