On the contrary: While I agree with you on one hand, the network
carries tons of HTTP queries which are answered with one to four
packets, and nobody cares about. So why should it be worse to 
fetch RMX/LMAP/whatever records the same way?


The TCP with few packets proplem is a separate problem. Let someone
else improve HTTP and benefit once this will be done in future.
