It's my understanding that it's actually several protocols (version 1 vs. version 2). But also, for example, we could use google's spreadsheets to provide a user interaction mechanism similar to J's grid, and google provides I think four different ways of moving data to and from spreadsheets (with different levels of granularity and fine control), and some of them are not supposed to be used together. Of course, this is a layer above the data protocol, but my current impression is that if we wanted to do something useful we might be better off solving specific application related issues rather than trying to be to general. Still, I think we will be going here sooner or later (perhaps after jhs gets a bit more fleshed out, since having J already talking with a browser makes google data protocol a very plausible tool).
