What about BEEP protocol, does this not address all of the fundamental underlying issues discussed here at the layer where they really should be addressed? See: http://www.beepcore.org/beepcore/home.jsp, or http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/beep-charter.html

  I was wondering this myself. It seems like BEEP has solved these problems, except maybe the NAT/PAT/firewall traversal problem.

  
  Microsoft supports using a channel based on TCP/IP directly rather than HTTP for developing stuff that does not travel across the internet. I don't know if this is any better.
