http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=13794 Summary: I think length-prefixed messages would be a lot more useful than line-delimited messages. Sentinel terminators, especially newlines, are more error prone to generate and parse than a few bytes of length prefix followed by a message, repeat.

Sentinel terminators, especially newlines, are more error prone to generate and parse than a few bytes of length prefix followed by a message, repeat. In addition, the ability to send blobs with newlines is a big win in terms of the messages that are easily able to be sent across the transport, as well as giving the developer the ability to improve the readability of the protocol which is being sent over the wire, as examined in a packet sniffer.
