True. Maybe I've misinterpreted Tony's message. IMO standardization of the
crypto protocol and its wire representation would have greater chances to
wide adoption. It wouldn't just be another messaging protocol for end-users
but rather a core e2e encryption component that could be used in current
and future protocols to come. Similar to TLS that is used by many other
protocols.
