But we've seen this before. The most recent previous case I can think of is IETF TRILL vs. ITU 802.1aq. As with MPLS, it's not obvious that these are standards for the Internet as opposed to standards for something else.

That would be the IEEE for 802.1aq. It's also not the first time competing standards have happened - including within IETF itself.
