No and no. First of all everything after the {Network} step is my own
damn business. Do not assume or attempt to mandate anything about what
must consume the bits. An HTML 5 parser is one thing that might be used.
However whether I use such a tool depends on my needs.
Secondly, that server model is only one possibility. Many servers have a
model that does not involve anything more complicated than checking the
filename extensions and then blindly copying bits onto the wire. For
performance that's often necessary.
