Where did this precept come from?  Here I thought we were all part of the 
"internet" and had more-or-less agreed to abide by its 'rules' [the RFCs 
at the least].  This seems like a recipe for chaos.

Can't wait to sign up for an ISP and see a list of protocols that they 
choose to ignore, protocols that they intentionally mishandle, etc, and 
have EVERY ISP posting a *different* 200 page list... and the sentiment 
being not "Hey, there are standards, let's play together" but "their 
networks, their rules, screw you".  Maybe I've just been brainwashed, but 
I'm a conformance and cooperation and standards kind of guy, not an 
"everybody rolls his own" one...
