I'm sorry, my mention of "sound architecture" wasn't intended to suggest
that you were an advocate of unsound architecture.

But I am trying to contrast a "sound architecture" with an "easy to adopt
architecture". It would seem like a good thing to ensure that it is
*possible* to gateway between vendors X and Y. It would seem like a bad
thing to (say) adopt current bit patterns used by X or Y simply to improve
ease of gatewaying, if those were not otherwise good design choices.

I suspect that we largely agree and are both just reacting over-vigorously
to certain phrases in each other's messages.
