I don't think it was ever properly evaluated. We had a very early
discussion about it, I don't remember the details, but I'm not sure it's
even relevant these days, it was a very general discussion before any of
the stuff we have today was implemented.

The custom protocol saves a bit of code and memory. It's the same solution
Firefox OS is using. It probably gives you a bit more freedom to tweak
stuff like security rules. It has been tested more than the web server
approach.

A proper evaluation would be useful but I suspect that's all what we know
at the moment.
