This takes a cooperative effort between two hosts and so is not always
possible from the perspective of one host.

More likely its that people value the design of their web pages over the
performance benefits of stripping to bare bones.  That is a preference
on their part.  But, it doesn't mean they wouldn't also like to see
performance gains, as well.

OK, three things... IW10 can save more than 1RTT.
