It's worth remembering that at one stage, the U.S. government "ordered" that the Internet move away from its conventional SMTP email standards (that reach back in many respects to the earliest ancestor ARPANET days) and replace it all with the horrifically complicated X.400 protocol stack. This transition never happened, because the network community pretty much en masse simply ignored the edict. Thank goodness.
