The problem is that most people do copy the stuff straight out of the 
documentation.  And for those that do write a separate script, there are 
still a lot of possibilities to get it wrong.

There are only about a handful of transportation protocols appearing in 
practice, so it would be very helpful to provide carefully reviewed 
scripts or recipes for these.
