I would love that (HTTP/RESTish). That makes a lot of things easier. Add to the 
list of benefits, Load Balancing.
We don't need a new protocol. We need to use a protocol that is widely used so 
we can reuse all the good stuff we've already got that works.

I had read sometime back that someone was implementing a similar technique in 
Australia.

The downside to it is a lot of vendors I deal with live in the 19th century, 
and might not start supporting this for several years from now. 
But a push for HTTP in HL7 from HAPI would be the right thing for healthcare.
