I agree with you, but I don't think this approach is going to persist
as the standard model.
Increasingly, transport and what we now call layer-7 are going to
become conflated (we already see all these Rube Goldberg-type
mechanisms to try and accomplish this OOB now, with predictable
results), and that's going to lead to APIs/data types embedding this
information, IMHO.
