As I said earlier, I think we should at least have some sort of 
low-level retry because it's going to get through a dead connection 
faster. I don't think it matters whether we have more than one 
attribute or not. Also, if someone can demonstrate that the time 
difference between retries is going to be insignificant with the 
high-level one, then it clearly doesn't matter.

I agree with Loic. This seems a reasonable default--I also wouldn't 
mess with it too much because if you set it too short, even with a 
few retries, it may just race the server.

I don't think there's much documentation *besides* the man pages. I'm 
not much of a socket programmer though.
