The goal is to have a fast response, and most decently written
text-based protocol servers won't process the input (and see
that it is invalid) until a line is received, a timeout occurs,
or the receive buffer is full.  That is doubly so when the kernel
is asked to do line buffering before accept.

I think it is fair to say we could continue bike-shedding this
for a long time and end up with a fair number of polarized yet
irrelevant designs.  I suggest folks just code it up and see
which ideas break the best on the most networks.
