I talk about html client with qemu. The suggested protocol extension provides
a clean solution for the html5 client.

First, because it solves the html client problem. Second, because it  results
in simpler code.

For what reason do you want such a complex solution?

But wait, I will post a patch with many cleanups tomorrow. You can then see how it
fits all together.
