Agreed - the motivating factors on my end for an async protocol have
applications in mind that look nothing like browsers.  (Autonomous
agents is probably the shortest description that gets you in the
ballpark.)

Again, this is why the current draft is so impenetrable (to me) since
it expects that the only person implementing the draft is a client
vendor using synchronous socket methods...which sort of defeats the
purpose when you are trying to write a fully async client...or any
type of server.  -- justin
