Squid does not really make use of the additional features of HTCP
because of how Squid is designed, so you migh as well stick with ICP
which is a light weight protocol when compared to HTCP.

I don't think HTCP ever will gain a larger acceptance. It uses quite a
bit more bandwidth than ICP to solve some minor problems with ICP, and
today peering designs are moving away from query protocols like ICP or
HTCP because it requires to much bandwidth and causes latency.
