But if that was the solution we wouldn't have this discussion. It's
because people want to/have to write their application in javascript that
there is a need for a better solution than what exists now.

Perhaps the reason BEEP has never taken off is because it's so versatile
that it ultimately creates a bigger mismatch. I'm afraid WS might follow
the same trend.
