A refactor would be useful indeed. And IMHO such a refactor should take into account the entire stack of protocols and non-protocol conventions needed to meet user (and developer) expectations in the real world.

That stack could then be profiled for different levels of interop, from basic, say text-only, @foo@bar only (or whatever) to fully “dynamic” with all possible extensions. Starting with the “minimum profile”.

Lots of work, though. Not sure anybody would have the time / funding to even work on this, even if we could agree on how to do it?
