Not to push your analogy too far: having several power plug standards means 
that many (but not all) power supplies eat the cost of supporting both 110V and 
220V outlets.  The physical "encapsulation" gateway is relatively easy; the 
semantic translation (transformer from 110<->220) is harder.

What the draft is saying is, let's have a common voltage standard (BGP); we 
should decide later whether and how and where to do the physical conversion.

Kireeti.
