I think a hint that a request is expected to be long-term persistent  
would be useful in any case, to let the user agent know that it  
shouldn't pipeline other requests on the same connection. Perhaps this  
can be a simple boolean, if http itself relaxes connection limits and  
so removes the need for more complex functionality along these lines.
