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).
