Most obvious things are only obvious after the fact when someone has implemented them... that's one reason for patents and copyright... stops the "well that's obvious so you can't patent it etc..." arguments. At some point anything has to be put into practice and the implementer gets and advantage for that... trouble is that now patent law has gone terminally stupid...
