This has nothing  to do with meeting requirements for I2RS.

Again - I am not hearing requirements against I2RS.
Have you implemented I2RS with netconf/restconf/yang?

I dont think this sounds rational at all. HTTP has a bigger ecosystem than you.
Why not build around that and then refactor as needed?
Why is it so hard to get requirements around here?  What is the point
to a standard again?
