Oh, I think HTTP is really quite a good example of the process working well. RFC 2616 even says this:
"HTTP only presumes a reliable
transport; any protocol that provides such guarantees can be used;the mapping of the HTTP/1.1 request and response structures onto the
transport data units of the protocol in question is outside the scope
of this specification."
That actually did happen, so even that 1999 document was right.
They did make a bunch of adjustments and clarifications in the meantime, so I don't think there was too much hoop-jumping. :)
thanks,
Rob
