My take is (in this order);
* longer, more involved Hackathons,
* open source reference implementations (%)
* cheaply and easily reproduceable test bed/skaffolding for complex protocols
* facilitating conformance testing, particularly for open source implementations.
(for instance, it's particularly difficult to create complex enough
infrastructures to test routing protocols such as BGP4, but this also applies
to SIDR, S/MIME, OAUTH and even some IPsec setups)
Looking up, I see a theme which is really about getting from Proposed
Standard to Internet Standard faster and in ways that engages more pieces of
the vendor and operational communities.
(%)-you may say this is self-serving, and I agree. So I'll just make my interest explicit.
