If we want to enforce simpler, more accurate design the best way to do
this would be to require a formal proof of correctness before accepting
a specification.
Requiring people to use 1960s technology is not a way to achieve
simplicity.

It's good that protocols needing more than 72 ASCII characters are

Just imagine what elegantly simple protocols we would have if we
required the descriptions to be in Morse code.
Good idea.
It's a better approach to enforce much simpler protocols.
