That's why we have a thing called standard. And AFAIU virtio API/ABIs should be officially registered and standardized.

Absolutely.

I've submitted my spec to virtio folks last nov, but this wasn't in form of patch against their tex-based documentation yet (just ascii text), thus laying around in the pipeline.

(meanwhile the actual implementation is running in the field for over 6 month now)

Viresh picked it up, but made something totally different out of it. I wonder why he didn't consult me first. All that needed to be done was translated the ascii documentation into tex and rephrase a bit in order to match the formal terminology and structure used in virtio specs.

This makes me very unhappy.
