Let me try to roll this some more on the list, because I gave it some thought:

The goal is to have something buildable. So if we allow protocols that are hardly deployed into draft-welzl-taps-transports, then this gives us a list that may include services that one can never implement unless hardly-deployed protocol X is used, or other protocols are extended to all of a sudden provide this functionality.

Thus, boring as it may seem, “widely deployed protocols” can be the only reasonable criterion to allow adding protocols in draft-welzl-taps-transports

Thoughts?
