Use Case:

They may store the Marc on the side or assemble it on the fly at the point of
demand. Marc enters and exits the system but may or may not drive the
internals.

I'm not entirely sure that TCP/IP and the other IETF RFCs became

My instinct is to quote the battle between OSI (ISO) and TCP/IP (IETF
RFCs). Does that strike others as appropriate?
Any examples closer to the library world?
