This is definitely the correct solution to the problem with BSD sockets - nobody actually treats network connections as files. All of that file overhead and unix integration is entirely wasted. All of the advances that have been made in message passing systems/buses have passed over BSD sockets because everyone is of the opinion that BSD sockets are already perfect. Most of that view comes from the very simple fact that everything uses BSD sockets - even Windows.
Hopefully this research spurs on others to create new implementations, because I bet that there are many improvements possible in the basic socket idea.
