Right I clearly missed that, somehow I assumed it would allow.

I only argument today it to allow protocol specific transport. So we could
delay addition of it until someone needs that way. So far we haven't seen
anyone using it other than performance(even that is not needed with the
introduction of fast channels that are auto discoverable in relatively
newer versions of the spec).
