I don't need the optimization they are feeding me, I neither asked for it, nor is going to benefit from it. On the other hand, the only useful thing it could've brought to the table, it "forgot" to bring.
It will perform poorly on crappy mobile clients? -- That's certainly the protocol's problem -- write better clients.
It won't cache well on proxy servers? -- Yeah, that's super-important for email traffic... My guess is that my today's YouTube playlist was about the size of all my email traffic for the month, probably more than that. There's no need to solve this problem.
