Sure, but practically speaking you need ways of distinguishing
useful cases from error cases.  (Thus, for example, the use of
multipart/mixed for server-to-client streams.)

Another issue, for transfers that take a long time, is that
you eventually need a mechanism to restart a long transfer
where you left off (rather than at the begining).

Anyways, I imagine the people who are throwing around large
chunks of video have something useful in these areas, but
I would also imagine that using a sequence of requests might
turn out to be a good idea.
