A URI scheme is not a protocol.    In terms of the web, when a browser
address line starts with "http://", that is specifying how the rest of the
URI should be interpreted, which together with the method and optional
content, defines the semantic of the operation the client is initiating.
That is a separate thing to the wire protocol used to transfer that
request, it just so happens that for the web both are called http (unless
you are using spdy as the wire protocol to transfer http semantics).

We want a upgrade wire protocol, not upgraded semantics.

Well actually we want both - as eventually I'd like to see other semantics
(eg websockets) transported over the HTTP/2.0 wire protocol.
