(1) agree ("yuck" to content-length: -1)
(2) two proposals (multipart and chunked) isn't a lot
they both have their uses, so why not both
(3) server push isn't 'infinite length object'.
'infinite length object' must be illegal.
(4) timeouts in the middle of object transmission
signal an error, not end of object
(5) detecting the difference between end-of-object
and 'connection gets broken' is the whole point.

errors yes, end-of-object no.
