Related, the WARP streaming protocol, as a candidate for what would ride over MoQ: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-moq-warp/

Yes, exactly! I mention that in the post. Streaming formats are where a lot of interesting decisions can be made about how best to optimize QoE for different use cases. MoQT is designed have enough levers to pull to enable a lot of clever tricks across a wide gamut of latency targets, while also being decoupled from all of the media details so we can get good economies of scale sharing fan out infrastructure.

WARP's development (at the IETF) up until now has been largely spearheaded by Will Law, but it's an IETF spec so anyone can participate in the working group and help shape what the final standard looks like. WARP is a streaming format designed mainly for live streaming use cases, and builds on a lot of experience with other standards like DASH. If that doesn't fit your use case, you can also develop your own streaming format, and if it's something you think others could benefit from, too, you could bring it to the IETF to standardize.
