Yea, Microsoft Speed+Mobility don't have the SSL requirement, because it is based on WebSockets which already have done the work (masking etc.) to deal with bad middleboxes. And SPDY and WebSockets was developed at the same company (Google), yet it is MS that realized both can be combined together.

In fact, looks like WebSockets was developed by Ian Hickson at Google, while SPDY was developed by Mike Belshe at Google: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-mbelshe-httpbis-spdy-00 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-hixie-thewebsocketprotocol-...
