Good point. But then we do need to ensure that there are no sub-protocol name clashes. My suggestion is to use real URLs as sub-protocol names, like DTDs Also I think a single sub protocol name is not very flexible. You might want to combine multiple sub protocols - one for gzip, one for orderly close etc. or is that a subprotocol that supports optional features? regards
