I'm not arguing against zero-copy per se. I'm arguing against people who think memory management tricks are a good idea. They generally aren't, look at where Mach is.
Ok ok ok, as usual you are the voice of reason.
Just one situation I want clarified, do you think we'll be able to fit into our framework a way to (for example) get at the user's application level headers during a write (ie. http header, then the data)?
