+1. For a transport to be included into the mainline, it should 
actually work. 


I agree wholeheartedly.

Anyway, I suspect that once I’m ready to share the work in Go, it will be 
easier to play with new transports without risk to the nanomsg core, or even to 
my Go core.  I’m designing to make it both easy to plug in to existing 
transports, and easy to leverage most of the work that is common.  Any 
transport that can implement net.Conn semantics can be trivially added .. the 
main thing will be that constructors for connect and accept will be different.
