I notice in the issues list that the persistent connection subgroup agreed that the presence of persistent connections would not be used to limit connections to a specific small number. If there is more information on that decision, I would like to see it, even in a rough form. I have already seen complaints about Netscape's current behavior on several lists, including statements which implied webmasters might turn off persistent connections in the face of what they saw as "piggish" behavior. If there is a valid reason for holding open the multiple connections, we should probably make it public as soon as practicable, or we may find that false beliefs about its interaction with multiple connections will slow the spread of persistent connections.
