Well, the code can't deal with really long latencies, or wierd transports, yet.
Re wierd transports, the first step would be to abstract out the transport layer so we can have transport plugins. Nextgens has expressed an interest in doing this, but doesn't have much time; whoever does it will need to work closely with me for some of the time. Re long latencies... we have to make the user interface handle long latencies in a sensible way; this is in progress. We also have to find a technical way to use long-latency transports for useful work. I'm not sure exactly what we will do yet on this front, as we will obviously want to have low-latency requests as well for the foreseeable future. Maybe something like passive requests, or maybe just a completely separate bulk transfer request type. It makes a certain amount of sense to coalesce it with passive requests as these by definition persist for a long period...
