Section 8.1.1 may come across as slightly biaised, because it lists only advantages of persistent connections. In practice, these are balanced by drawbacks. For instance, if the timeout value of persistent connections is larger than the TCP connection timeout, denial-of-service attacks are more effective: by using up all possible connections, a malicious user can prevent access to a targeted server for a longer period of time. Perhaps a quick mention of this issue would make sense in section 8.1.4 (Practical Considerations)? Jean-Philippe Martin-Flatin
