One thing that might be very nice to have in Lisp would be a protocol
library. It would have implementations of all kinds of popular protocols,
such as corba, com, rpc, tcp/ip, http, html, xml, pdf, postscript, jpeg, etc.
The big problem with implementing a protocol library is that you have to know
the protocols before you can implement them, and you have to have the
resources to test them.
Are such protocol libraries commonly available? Or what kinds of resources
do people use instead, such as a protocol encyclopedia or some such book
containing all the information you need?

Code for dealing with some of those protocols is available at CLiki:
