When all you have is a hammer.... by Anonymous Coward · 2003-10-03 04:06 · Score: 2, Insightful

Excellent! A derivative of a non-real time, bulk data transfer protocol family (SMTP, HTTP) being used for real time signalling applications.

While the HTTP request/response model has served the IETF well enough for many things, perhaps they should consider more protocol models than the single hammer they seem to have equipped their toolbox with.
