Am I implying that it does? Yes.

1. We do that for other reasons too, anyway, like minifying and optimization. For other things, keepalive has worked fairly well.

2. Sure.

3. This has nothing to do with the protocol.

I don't really disagree vehemently with your points--I'm just pointing out that claiming HTTP doesn't scale is completely ludicrous, given that it literally powers nearly everything of scale.

SPDY wouldn't be a thing if HTTP were sufficient at the massive scales we're talking here.
