No, because Bin wants to (as I understand it) force the next request that uses 
that origin to *forcibly* use the new alternative IP address. I'm pretty sure 
most alt-svc implementations will not do that but will rather reuse existing 
connections (since the spec allows that and it is much faster) and then switch 
to the alternative only once a connection to that has been setup...
