(this is not really noise, at least useful one ie. an information like the +1 
:) )

At least, I think we need « standard » protocols list, at least for the most 
used ones. Some conventions too.
For instance, all the initialize* (+ class side)… I can cope with that but this 
is clearly a brain stopper for me :grinning:.

Were they some attempts to define such standard list / best practices for 
protocols ?

I guess this is a huge task but one important one. Regarding implementations, 
it might be hard to change too much for compatibility reasons (nb: exercice for 
later => get all protocols name of an image)
