I think that if Apache is to listen on several IPs on different ports and now 
supporting different (low-level) protocols, it is reasonable to provide mechanisms to 
permit certain ports and protocols on specific IPs. So something along

> listen,tcp: 80
> listen,sctp: 80

should be IMHO be there. Since the syntax is currently

Listen <port>
Listen <IPv4>:<port>
Listen [<IPv6>]:<port>

it could become

Listen <port> <protocols>

or

Listen <port>;<protocols>

or even

Listen <protocols> <port> 

<protocols> is a comma separated list (eg "tcp,sctp").

ListenProtocols <protocols>

would set the default protocols for the Listen directive if no proctocol is given. 
Without this directive Apache should IMHO use only tcp.
