Protocols as languages. Bridges as translators. Protocols and languages both support and embed culture and act as barriers to entry to outsiders. Despite this, many people are able to practice multiple languages or use multiple protocols and participate in more than one culture.
At the end of the day, it seems obvious you could have too many protocols, but not as obvious you could have too few. But I do wonder whether we'd really want just one language or one protocol?
