+1

I personally don't really care about which protocol that should be (I have some 
preferences, but "getting one protocol right" outweighs all those preferences 
by a huge margin) as long as we design something that is easy enough for CPE 
vendors to implement correctly so that for the home user everything just works.

Needing to implement multiple protocols, having to negotiate with other devices 
which of those protocols to use, network flaps because a device was added to 
the network that doesn't support the protocol that the other devices agreed 
upon etc. don't help in this regard.

Please remember: the end goal is to create a situation for home users that just 
works and works reliably, not to design the most fancy and cool combination of 
protocols possible...

Cheers,
Sander
