That sounds reasonable.  I'd like to avoid defining more than one Avro-specific 
wire protocol, and hope we can devise one that is simple, permits 
high-performance implementations, and also permits secure implementations.  In 
the meantime, I think we're better off using HTTP.

If you have existing client/server stacks, it should be fairly trivial to send 
Avro-format requests and responses over them.  Meanwhile, the Avro reference 
implementations and specification will only have HTTP clients and servers until 
we standardize on another.  Is that draconian?
