This is roughly why I believe one of our requirements should be that 
implementations should be possible in few lines of code without the use of 
any libraries. Sure, HTTP libraries are a dime a dozen, and we can rely on 
XML parsers and so on, but in practice, some will do the right thing, and 
others won't.

I'd rather have a protocol that's so simple that nobody will feel the need 
to write their own HTTP parser, say.
