The primary reason for avoiding a protocol like SIP between the web 
browser and its associated server(s) is that adding *any* functionality 
requires a round of standardization effort, whereas following the web 
model (HTML and Javascript in the clients, arbitrary signaling over 
HTTP) allows for immediate and frequent innovation on that channel.
