Was using it as an example of how you could use a modern client to make a working protocol, without the server necessarily knowing the difference, not necessarily as one where this isn't intended. Point was, giving information on the protocol, or hiding it, doesn't matter.
Want a better example? A few years back MS added a mess of stupid nonsense to some web protocol and flat out stated, "Open source projects might be able to duplication one or two of these, but making it work with all of the changes would be nearly impossible." This genius statement was made as a selling point to companies that bought into MS hype, three days *after* a project for the Apache server released a *completely* compatible protocol implimentation, which supported *all* of the features MS had added. lol
