I don't think there will be a non-ASCII based protocol ready for version 2.0. 
The current transition path I see is to have a 2.0 with support for underlying 
multiplexing but still ASCII based. The main problem is to get persistent 
connections efficient enough to dramatically reduce the perceived time to 
render. Before this happens we can not tell people to seriously reduce the 
amount of open connections pr Web application.
