I don't think--and again, this is just my opinion--that giving up the simplicity of the protocol that has somehow brought us in the last twenty years from barely functioning text to the modern web is a good idea. I believe that especially given that the big benefits seem predicated on very centralized authorities and large-scale companies.
If you're Google or Facebook or Twitter, this is great. If you're anyone else, it's not really a huge win.
We're not giving up anything (1.1 support will be around for quite some time). The benefits won't be for small site owners, but for end users. At a guess, I'd say at least 60% of my daily web use is to big company sites (facebook, google, twitter, news organisations etc). This will result in a huge speed increase for most end users.
