Wow! Given the encouraging response both on and off list, I guess I'd like to kick things off in turning asio into a serious proposal for Boost. I'll post a message in a day or two outlining some of the areas where I believe it needs refinement and where it could benefit from others' expertise.
I know you want a header only library, but others have voiced the need to not pollute the namespace with all the stuff from various network library header files and such. This almost requires a library implemented behind the interface. Along that line, compiles are very slow, probably due to the all-header implementation. I looked at asio a while ago, and remember having some other issues, but do not really recall them at this moment.
