However the fact that it must support the "browser" case does impose 
limitations that might not exist otherwise. An example is the 
requirement for an explicit handshake before sending UDP data towards a 
destination. People are very forgiving with what installed native apps 
can do, but not very happy when browsers load banner ads that do these 
sorts of things as a side-effect.
