A proof-of-concept is useful for showing that something is 
*possible*, but if you try to formalize from  there it's more of a 
"hotshot went off and did their own thing, then expects everyone else 
to follow the leader". Google is working *with* the XRI TC, and my 
understanding is that they want their work to be useful when we all 
start looking for a protocol that a majority of the community can 
agree to (with little enough effort that it doesn't become more 
efficient to ditch the POC entirely and start over from scratch).
