XP & HTTP

The XP working group is chartered to use HTTP as a transport mechanism. The
IETF has concerns about the use of HTTP as a general purpose transport, and
proposes a "Best Current Practices" whose recommendations may impact
consideration of future use of HTTP by XP.

This proposal warrants evaluation and a response from the XP working group,
and discussion by the larger dist-app community.
