Yes, this ^^ is the initial focus, and is enough to provide value now. However, ultimately we will generalize HTTP into a fully peer-to-peer system. Each extension we add provides a new dimension of p2p, and at some point we won't need servers at all. The big blocker to that, right now, is TLS+DNS, which are baked into the definition of https:// https:// URIs.
