Folks, the more formats there are, the less interoperability we
get. If there are multiple formats, is there a mandatory to implement
format? Does the mandatory to implement format depend on the protocol
that is being used?

I prefer one format or if necessary I am fine with one mandatory to
implement format. An open ended collection of implementation specific
formats is super flexible but defeats the purpose of a standard,
namely interoperability.
