N(ot )yet.

In a nutshell, it is generally the case that if you try to design
without experience you get some things wrong, and have to restart.
This is not a problem within a project (to the extent that project
management sees eye-to-eye with itself).  Once you have standardized
across projects, disputes must go to the conservatives, otherwise you
simply don't have a standard at all, merely some "free advice".  You
know what people usually do with free advice!  :-þ

See the "XML-RPC", "standards", and "reply-to munging" threads.
Especially the first.
