Regarding Proprietary formats: Professional people do such kinds of things very often. Even if IETF standardized protocols, the vendors (the carrier grade embedded FOSS products have still room for improvement to lure the service providers for mainstream deployment) tend to tweak some or the other part of protocols and claim them as betterment over the standard formats.
MPLS is one technology which became a playground for product companies. They played proprietary things to the max. Its nice to see that computing community has taken a stern step to follow open standards because only this step can guarantee optimal usage of computing resources as a whole.
