We have until now: * The network library should support four I/O models which are known to many programmers as blocking, non-blocking, multiplexing and asynchronous.

I think the scope of this library is insane. We don't need to solve every single network I/O problem with one huge networking library. Having a solid socket library that handles only blocking with be a _huge_ improvement . Start small and don't be afraid to say "No! That's for the next version." Doug
