An interesting idea, especially if you could tell it what to cull as
absolutely uninteresting, e.g., no OSI, no ATM, no SONET, no MPLS, no
SNMP, no RSVP, no OSPF, no XML, no UTF-7. You'd need to have some
way
to evaluate questions like `is the anal-retention and micromanagement
in SMTP (821/2821) irrelevant and thus removable?'. I suppose any
algorithm that could cope with the Book of Armaments should be good
enough.
