If for example we picked Websocket as *THE* protocol and
all the firewalls and gateways were changed to support upgrade
to websocket - then I would still expect to see many different
protocols being tunnelled over websocket datagrams.

Doesn't that sound like exactly what everyone wants? Then we could all
implement our protocols, and expect them to work properly through the
dreaded proxies, all with a total overhead of one 0 byte and one 255 byte
per frame.
