Keep in mind you are still going to have lots of these same problems you mention inside the binary blocks and header blocks. Just the specific annoyances of HTTP 1.1 will be gone but new ones will appear.
Going binary does not make it suddenly easier, it just slices it up and adds a layer of obfuscation.
Easier to know what the hell is going on across a wire with current formats and debug them. Utopia interop does not exist so Postel's Law has gotten us this far. Being text no doubt makes it easier to debug and interoperate, otherwise we'd be sending binary blocks instead of json. Unless you control both endpoints, Postel's comes into play and simplicity wins.
We are moving in a new direction for better or worse and going live. I feel like it is slightly off the right path but sometimes you need to take a wrong step like SOAP did to get back to simple. We'll see how it goes.
