Comment (by scribu):

 Some interesting discussions happened today in regards to choosing a
 specific implementation. Basically, it boils down to two approaches:

 A) Pick the best/available implementation before executing each operation.

 This offers ultimate flexibility; it allows using libraries that only
 partially implement the set of required operations, but is more complex to
 implement and test.

 B) Pick the best/available implementation at the beginning and stick to
 it.

 This is how the HTTP component in WP works. It requires that all
 implementations support the entire set of required operations, but is
 easier to implement.

 Made a quick proof of concept:
