Yeah, I have to agree on this one. I was never a particular fan of SPDY.
Yes, HTTP needs a reworking, but only the concepts behind SPDY are good,
not its actual implementation. I'd sooner implement some sort of WebSocket
interface for MW, such as having the server push load.php resources over a
socket, or maybe having an improved edit form that tells your browser when
another user edits the page.

"The author of Varnish, Poul-Henning Kamp, has written an interesting
critique of SPDY and the other draft protocols trying to become HTTP 2.0.
He suggests none of the candidates make the cut. Quoting: 'Overall, I find
the design approach taken in SPDY deeply flawed. For instance identifying
the standardized HTTP headers, by a 4-byte length and textual name, and
then applying a deflate compressor to save bandwidth is totally at odds
with the job of HTTP routers which need to quickly extract the Host: header
in order to route the traffic, preferably without committing extensive
resources to each request. ... It is still unclear for me if or how SPDY
can be used on TCP port 80 or if it will need a WKS allocation of its own,
which would open a ton of issues with firewalling, filtering and proxying
during deployment. (This is one of the things which makes it hard to avoid
the feeling that SPDY really wants to do away with all the "middle-men")
With my security-analyst hat on, I see a lot of DoS potential in the SPDY
protocol, many ways in which the client can make the server expend
resources, and foresee a lot of complexity in implementing the server side
to mitigate and deflect malicious traffic.'
