Hi all --

I use a relatively unsophisticated example that Internet protocols are
like languages -- when the user makes a request (really the client app on
behalf of the user), the language of communication is "declared." If the
user says "I'm going to speak French" and the protocol is in "Dutch" then
there are communication problems ;-)
