The priesthood secretly hates protocol.
It's a draft: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/686. Looks like our NIP number got ganked.

We're just waiting for NIP 44 encryption to get finalized.
Discussion
What's your protocol?
Oh, sorry, added a pronoun where there wasn't one. What do you mean?
I see. I think the "priesthood" agrees with you. NIPs are an effort to document accepted practices. Your participation is welcome.
This hasn't been my experience.
Not married to it but any sort of protocol seems unwanted. No request for change, just no.

And note the lack of a reply to a reasoned argument.

Anyway, I prefer competition to argument so thinking about creating a new protocol initiative.
