This is the second time I've heard about concern that proxies would

layering other protocols over HTTP is currently an arms-race between
client-software developers who want to do this, and proxy developers who want
to provide the tools their customers (sys admins) ask for to allow them to
prevent it.
the harder it gets to block something intelligently, the more likely admins
will resort to over-blocking. We see it every day.
Developing a new protocol for mail designed ONLY to layer over HTTP is
therefore extremely foolhardy. Sure by all means have options.
I'm not really convinced, does it means that CalDAV and CardDAV are on the
wrong way ? I think not, even if they are not supported by all mobile platforms
well, deploying CalDAV to a corporate environment has all sorts of
issues. You want to run your CalDAV server on a computer running a web
server? Port conflict. Or you need to wedge it into your web server
somehow.
It's still another set of creds and config to access what users consider
to just be a feature in mail.
Imagine if you needed to use 5 different keys to drive your car. One
for the door, a different one for the steering lock, another to start
the engine, another to unlock the transmission etc etc.
Then you lose 1 key.
It's actually insane.
