Although I agree a udp based proposal is unlikely to bear fruit, I don't see that it is a priori beyond the scope of the HTTP/2 work. I think our charter asks for proposals that reduce TCP connection count - that would certainly qualify :) WebRTC is doing something kind of similar with sctp/dtls/udp layering, right? There are a huge amount of unknowns there, which is a terrific argument for rallying around spdy because it is well experimented with already and is known to solve some hard problems. But if someone were to invest in a prototype, a spec, and some test results of a udp system I would find that a much more interesting thing to consider than another proposal for some variation of spdy-lite. My weak understanding of dtls is that it has the potential to save another rtt over the tcp version :) -Patrick
