Yes, and it's almost assuredly going to become more common, irrespective

do this to a large degree, they seem to find it an attractive model.
Which means that most everything ends up transported via or tunneled
over TCP/80 and/or TCP/443, obfuscated and/or encrypted, with more and
more interactive applications using COMET-type technologies.
This whole horror story points to what should be the *real* political

IMHO more use should be made of the terminology in RFC 4084 secttion 2.
In fact getting such terminology into consumer protection regulations
would be entirely appropriate. But that is way outside the IETF's scope.
