Sure, but most of these documented protocols have all sorts of serious
problems, too: most of them are painfully ad-hoc. If you mean a protocol
that's undergone peer review and is considered by the community to be a
best practice, then no, I'm unaware of any. If you're able to come up
with one I hope you'll share it with the rest of us!
