Yes - it's a workaround that avoids bloating the protocol, same workaround
used by HTTP to keep the protocol (relatively) simple. There are plenty
of protocols far more sophisticated than HTTP - but it seems the http 
workaround worked.

AJP's goal is to optimize the transfer of requests and responses. 
Jk goal was to support multiple protocols ( like AJP13 ).

I'm -1 on bloating the protocol for things that can be implemented 
much cleaner using the request/response mechanism that we already 
support. 

I'm +1 if someone wants to implement/use XDR/IIOP/RMI, 
and I'm +1 on adding a new request message format that simplifies
the current request. I think both are well justified.
