If this allows the Web situation in Python 3 to be improved faster and with less hassle then all the better. There's something strange in your proposal: it mentions WSGI 2 at several places while there's no guarantee about what WSGI 2 will be (is there?).

Sorry - "WSGI 2" should be read as shorthand for, "whatever new spec succeeds PEP 333", whether that's PEP 444 or something else.

It just means that any new spec that doesn't have to be backward-compatible can (and should) more thoroughly address the issue in question.
