Well, as I'm seeing it right now, we have portable libraries, and we have
emerging technologies like Coral Cache that stand to make excellent use of it,
but no one can use it because the browsers aren't embracing it. :(

Is there really anything left about this whole process that is left to debate,
or is it really a matter of lack of a coder wanting to work on it? If it is the
latter, then I think we're almost approaching the point of needing to place a
bounty on it. Truly (affoardable) redundant systems are just dying for this
technology. You can place a load balancer in your data center all day long, but
if your load balancers fail, you're down. If you can implement SRV, then you
fail to another system, and if configured correctly, you can even pull from
Coral Cache.

Anyway, thoughts? Should be be starting a bounty on this?
