Is RMX a proposed change to existing Internet services OR, 1) a proposed
extension to/of existing services? 2) an additional use of existing services?
3) a new protocol?
My read is that it is #2 above. The RMX proposal do not seem to constitute a
change to existing services but rather a leveraging of those services to
achieve a specific goal. It also seems to be application specific as opposed
to a networking protocol.

When discussion adoption of Internet services, statements of the general
form "it will not be much use until there is widespread adoption, and
then it will be quite useful" are problematic.
Internet adoption of changes to existing services takes 5-10 years, at
least.
