You should clarify that when you say "web-apps" you mean the other kind.

After handshake the pipe isn't handling any http anymore. It's just plain
old TCP sending bytes in both directions, and you "select" by catching
websocket events. You aren't even restricted to same-domain policies with
websockets, only thing, you need a websocket ready listener on the other
end, not just any open connection, so the handshake can proceed.

Well you can be happy or unhappy with WebRTC, but WebRTC unreliable data
channels *are* UDP. Instead of recvFrom you listen to channel events, but
that's it. If you're not happy with WebRTC for UDP, go on and propose
another standard that does it how you like it.

You mean you're not happy with the current state of browser supported
file-systems. Fair enough, propose a better standard for that.
