Scott,
I corrected a typo ("usual" should have been "unusual" in item (a) in
the text) -- sorry.

Scott,
If I understand what you have been saying, it boils down to the
following. We as architects should aim towards saving the mission
community from making costly and/or dumb choices about rolling their
own re-transmission protocols. We should accomplish this by (a)
developing/adopting a small set of re-transmission protocols that
will meet all-but-the-most-unusual-mission-needs for the future and
(b) disallow future missions from using any other re-transmission
protocols over the infrastructure we are "architecting".
My apologies if I have misinterpreted your thesis, and I am happy to
be corrected.
