I wonder.

HTTP seems pretty transport-agnostic to me.  It's PDU format arguably 
echos Internet mail's header style, but that was hardly unique by then.

On the other hand -- and this might have been your point -- having it 
running on TCP/IP gave it access to -- and accessible by -- a vastly 
larger and more heterogeneous population of potential participants.
