People have tunneled over HTTP for a long time, and will continue to do so. I just disagree that the W3C should put its stamp of approval on this practice for the sake of some misdirected work that its membership voted to start based *entirely* on a misunderstanding of how the Web works. On the contrary, I'd like them to say "you don't need to tunnel, and if you do, you're not on the Web", which I believe the TAG may be working towards.
