Damn you're right. All we have to do is standardize an open source chat protocol. It's so simple! Why haven't we done this before? Clearly because you weren't around to point out it should be done. And not because it takes an incredible amount of influence and work to get a bunch of nerds to agree to something as simple as the name of a color, much less how a chat protocol should work. And not because it's much easier for a company that has a platform to do it since they don't have to appease every person on the standard body's whim. Nope. It was cause we didn't realize we needed one. But hey, thank god you're here to be super helpful and point out that we don't have a good chat protocol, but we should darn it. So someone (not you obviously - you have things to do I'm sure) go get it done and report back after you've made a good open source chat protocol.
