Sure@p{--} I've always liked the BitTorrent/W3C model because it is less centralized (lots of different implementations of the protocol, as opposed to a project like Perl, where essentially everybody runs the same code).  I consider Satoshi's code the "reference" client, though, not "proof-of-concept", since there is no formal specification. @p{par}
