Web 2.0 requires HTTP 2.0

With all the talk of "web 2.0", it occurred to me the other day (and very late into the game, unfortunately) that we won't truly have Web 2.0 until the HTTP protocol, currently at version 1.1, is updated to its own version 2.0. I imagine that would involve the addition of state awareness better than cookies. The problem is that it would still have to be backwards compatible or else there would be too much confusion while browsers and websites catch up to the standard.

PS - Very geeky, I know.
PPS - And I don't have anything productive to add to the standard.
