I was trying to point out how middleware vendors' implementations of standards will always monkey with somebody else's client/server model, and that the idea of "well let's just add some features to this standard and expect things to keep working" is a fool's errand. They can monkey with the standards all they like, but the way they're doing it is doomed to failure.
