So stuff like PouchDB, Gunjs will now be trivial?

  These are databases that support synchronization. They have to design their own custom protocol, because HTTP (without Braid) does not support synchronization. We want to add Braid support to PouchDB and Gunjs. Then they can interoperate, with one another, and with the rest of the web. You'll be able to build a distributed app that stores some data in Gunjs, and some in PouchDB, on different servers, on different websites. The differences between different synchronizing databases are captured in "Merge Types": https://raw.githubusercontent.com/braid-work/braid-spec/master/draft-toomim-httpbis-merge-types-00.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/braid-work/braid-spec/mast... Over time, I imagine that these databases will add support for each other's merge types, and then -- yes -- their abilities will be "trivial", and baked into most URLs of the web.
