While section 2.3 of draft-iab-extension-recs-02 can be read as very vaguely

original - are even more harmful to interoperability than extensions"), it 
appears to be aimed more squarely at the creation of protocol profiles by 
SDOs other than the IETF.

well, we could discuss the use of an IETF session setup protocol for instant 
messaging, and the use of a protocol designed to add attributes and report on 
available bandwidth within a class of traffic on a standard (eg, calculated by 
a routing protocol) route to install a route. We do it to ourselves as well.
