This isn't implementation-specific. If you read it, you should notice it is
intentionally generic for multiple use-cases. Right now bitcoind supports
getmemorypool for a few use cases, but this proposed BIP enables it to be
utilized for many more. Specifically, Eligius and at least a few other pools
wish to move toward a more decentralized method of pooled mining (similar to
the proprietary p2pool protocol). Eligius already supports miners producing
their own work with getmemorypool using this draft, and our Eloipool server is
open source (AGPL-3) for others to adopt (I know of at least one other pool
planning to do so). Other pools not using Eloipool also have expressed
interest in this, so a standard is desirable.
