Moxie has never really been interested in the standards game. He just likes doing code.
If we want this to be really open, we have to put our own proposal on the table.
I am currently trying to do just that.

And it is sad for everyone that we now have OTR, axolotl, double ratcheting and "signal tm".
Moxie started with OTR, migrated it to ECC and fragmented the encrypted IM community. It seems that now he has made it worse due to IPR.
Sad,
