Here we come full circle in this subthread. Iang proposed a NIST-style 
competition for network protocols instead of IETF-style "rough consensus 
and working code", and I pointed out that if you need interop, 
NIST-style is not a good match and one probably needed something like 
IETF. Then you asked whether I meant something like QUIC.

And indeed I might have because QUIC was not adopted through a 
NIST-style competition. Yes, it was initially a Gogle-proposed protocol, 
but IMO it gained traction by getting it (slowly, slowly) through the IETF.

Fun
