I have to admit, I'd be a little surprised (I think pleasantly, but maybe not) if I could open ten thousand file descriptors on the latest shipping Windows CE, or for that matter on an iPhone. The question is whether you queue or give an error. When hitting the RFC-ish per-host connection limits, browsers queue additional requests from <img> or such, rather than erroring them out. Not sure that's the right model here, but I worry about how much boilerplate code there will need to be to retry the connection (asynchronously) to handle failures, and whether people will end up writing it or just hoping for the best.
