Don't know about what group you're talking about but it ended up well: no need for a new protocol, just wrap in TLS with mutual cert authentication. TLS/TCP is fast enough nowadays that the overhead doesn't matter, and it saves you from having yet another standard.

This is key in a lot of infrastructure when you change environments (e.g. DMZ to some internal subnet). TCP and SSL were supported, too. Our software was used by one of the larges Unix installations and one of the largest telcos in the world. While theirs, not so much.
