Yes, it's a mixed blessing.  While proxies are cool (there's still nothing
with performance even remotely similar to Polipo over a high-latency
mobile link), proxies make it more difficult to evolve the protocol.  Have
a look at the Websocket specification for an example of what needs to be
done.  (I suspect this is also at least partly the reason why HTTP/2 is
typically not supported over cleartext).

There's a lot of interesting, novel work going on in the web world
(HTTP/2, websockets, service workers), it'd be a shame if all of that
couldn't be deployed due to proxying.
