The segment of webmasters who usually introduce themselves as "being
in the multimedia business" would not agree with you about that.

Since their pink bits account for between one and two thirds of all
HTTP traffic, I think it would be a bad idea to marginalize them,
even if they don't participate directly and don't come to the
meetings.

And:

The length extension proposal is not *just* about solving bulk
transfer, it is *also* about getting rid of the CONTINUATION kludge.
