> create an industry standard plugin protocol.

I feel that Software Engineering/Science is lacking a body of knowledge: something which is basically required in other professional industries (architecture, medical, physics, electrical engineering), etc.

Software Engineering/Science is at a disadvantage because there is no limitation placed on us by nature: an EE can't simply change the brightness of the sun to meet a requirement. We can.

To create an industry standard plugin is really saying we need to create a common way to communicate information between systems and sub-systems in software. I feel we have not really figured out the best way to do this yet. Our industry is still young.

I've put a lot of thought (about 6 years now) into a way to standardization communication between software systems and even parts of software. It's a hard problem to crack.

> common protocol between user environment and code transformer

I feel that once we crack the problem of communication between software parts, this will come naturally.
