Mark, this I don't get.  TCP certainly  makes a datagram network look
"less cruel and nasty", if you're in the right market.  And HTTP standard
implementation is over TCP, not UDP (I've read up on experimental hybrid
stuff).  Unless I misunderstand, REST is built upon a level of reliability,
and it sounds like the same level of reliability being discussed here.
