  1. Thoughtful article on different forms of compatibility by @doctorow: cacm.acm.org/magazines/2021/10/255710-competitive-compatibility/fulltext Protocols should ideally be standardized and open with reference implementations to test against. That's why we work on ISO 18013-5 (mobile driving license): to ensure compatibility.

      It's also a reason why I'm eager to see MLS (datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mls-protocol/) develop. While @signalapp has a good protocol and really drove innovation in the messaging space, it is currently not compatible or interoperable with other implementations, which hinders its acceptance.
