Indeed. And I'll be particularly vigilant on the ability to build gateways because I've already got several requests to implement SPDY into haproxy, so once HTTP/2.0 (or whatever we call it) is out, I'm sure I won't be able to resist to users' pressure. Anyway I'm more than happy to see this move forwards. I think that starting from existing HTTP spec limitations and issues is a safer way to bring something on the table in a reasonable delay than starting with a big brainstorming about how we can revolutionize the internet. One more reason to keep focused on current version's remaining issues till the last minute ;-) Cheers, Willy
