I want to just use port 80, and I want to make it possible for a

than just having a totally unrelated handshake, but I guess maybe we
should just reuse port 80 without doing anything HTTP-like at all.
To be clear, upgrade is appropriate for changing an existing
connection over to a new protocol (ie reusing it). To pass a request
over to a different server, a redirect would be more appropriate (and
is facilitated by the new uri scheme).
(Ian I don't have your draft in front of me, so this isnt a comment on
it necessarily, just a general statement).
