The other protocols seem to have more attention than HTTP from what I could tell.

I'm not sure even that is true. When I used twisted to write the justin.tv chat server (which is essentially an irc server) I gave up on twisted's irc protocol implementation and wound up just using twisted as an I/O layer.

Yah, that seems to be Twisted's problem. I think projects that don't have a real site using them day-to-day end up in this state often - lots of incomplete implementations of lots of features.
