"Big change", but in what way? ....

If the next protocol were to be called HTTP/1.2 we would be forced to:
- use plain text lines limited toASCII charset ending in CRLF
- use full-name headers in human readable format
- support all the human-readable date formats, mime type formats, 
options names etc.
- use strict one request message followed by one response body stateless 
sequence

In short, we would be forced to NOT fix any of the real performance 
problems visible in HTTP/1.


"2.0" is a BIG change for the incoming stream parsers and outgoing byte 
packers. Flow control, input validation, messaging and potential future 
extensions are also affected in a big way. With just binary framing 
change, no new features, no new headers, no new anything else but framing.

Hopefully the result will be a BIG change towards simplicity. But only 
time will tell about that.
