UDP and me - Hackdot

Does anyone know when we're getting access to UDP in browser? I am really excited about the possibility hinted at http://www.w3.org/2012/sysapps/tcp-udp-sockets/ and already have plans for how to use it.

For typical webapps it wouldn't help because of the difficulty traversing firewalls. This seems to be about standardizing facilities for browser-based OSes like FXOS and ChromeOS to make things like IRC clients

I am quite worried about this development as someone who has to deal with DDoS traffic on a regular basis. I am starting to feel like UDP and UDP-like protocols should be abolished outright.
