Just to be sure that I understand: We only are going to test "features" that 
are present in all protocols ?
Unless I misunderstand I don't think we are creating the right incentive here. 
Exchange on "missing" features can only be fostered if we make these features 
subject of discussion. If we do not, how should the "other" protocols learn 
about the usefulness of those ideas / concepts ? To give an example: The olsrd 
smart gateway feature was born in a lengthy discussion about the usefulness of 
a similar feature existing in batmand (there probably are plenty other 
examples but that was the first to jump into my mind). IMHO real world testing 
can demonstrate such "usefulness" much better than any theoretical discussion.
