There is a reason why protocols are not languages. A protocol is a well-defined standard that engineers are supposed to follow. There really is no space for "descriptivists" in technology and especially in standardized protocols. What is that, the protocol is useless? Well, maybe we should come up with a new standardized one instead of bastardizing the already-existing one and creating a lot of confusion and ambiguity (which machines have a hard time to deal with).
