Isn't that enough that there are originalists for constitution, do we now have to have "what did the founding fathers^H^H^H^H^H creators of HTTP mean"-people? That was 30 years ago. Web has evolved since then. What was a good solution then may not be one now. How people work with HTTP now and then is completely different.

Or, people who should be designing a protocol specific to their application, rather than abusing HTTP. Really, it's okay! You don't actually have to use HTTP for everything!

The most recent specification of HTTP semantics is about a month old.
