The missing pieces being:
Asynchronous socket support: Finding a way to represent asynchronosity, that works with diverse coding styles, meshes with existing interfaces, and doesn't monopolize control flow away from foreign components, is the most important feature needed for a standards-track sockets proposal. Please do not consider submitting this library for review without this. I expect that the work of creating this interface, in a form that addresses everyone's diverse needs, will dwarf the amount of effort required to create a synchronous socket streambuf. This is not a feature that can be tacked on later: it is essential to the design. Aaron W. LaFramboise
