Spdy is already being further developed behind closed door, like a closed standard, owned by Google.

This should really be enough of a reason not to trust them with the task of developing this protocol.

- doesn't include DNS lookup times

- doesn't include packet loss

- doesn't compare to pipelining

First two mean the claimed speedup isn't measuring the whole real time. Third is just amazing... the stock Android browser even uses pipelining. Basically pipelining gives the same benefits as Spdy and they really, really don't want to admit this.

This is what I'm talking about... every one of Microsoft's changes he identifies as b-h is a positive change. That he can't see it I guess is a testament to being young and inexperienced.
