Thoughts on HELIUM/HiNT

This is interesting work and a direction that has some promise.  Its
effect on consolidation [1] is something that needs consideration, but
some of the effects of that consolidation promise to have some
positive outcomes.

However, I don't think that this is an HTTP working group item, and
nor should it be.  I think that this needs to concentrate on
lower-layer primitives than what HTTP currently provides.

Discussion of part of this on the DISPATCH agenda, which is good.  I
would prefer to see this taken on in a new working group.
