I think you're mixing up wave.

Wave _is_ an actual application, not a protocol. It uses several protocols to get its job done, but it _is_ an application.

And the wave code is already public: http://code.google.com/apis/wave/

Sure it's an application, not a protocol.

However, I still think that it's not the current application that will deliver most of the Wave's value. Just like it's not the Twitter website that delivers most of the value of Twitter, but the ecosystem of the clients using its API.

Think light wave - sometimes it's an application and sometimes it's a protocol.
