HLS, DASH, MPD and LMS future version

Something I was wondering after the extensions I proposed for HTTP
streaming: the community has done a good job keeping LMS up-to-date with
evolving online streaming services and somewhat associated protocols:
HTTPS is the new HTTP, mp4/aac is the new mp3, we have added ogg, opus,
ogg/flac. 

I know that @bpa you have created the playHLS plugin and I think I've
understood you're working to update it for recent LMS versions. I was
wondering if we should not integrate that directly as a new set of
ProtocolHandlers, core tor LMS, so that it becomes "natural" for future
plugins to depend on these and the work would be much simplified as the
main task would then be to search and set the link to the hls, dash, mpd
source (sorry I'm mixing a bit different things here I know) rather than
re-inventing the wheel or relying on the user to install playHLS.
