Why would HN need it? Look at what assets the HN pages include and where they are sourced. There's no real benefit to be gained for the user. It would be faster and more efficient for the user if he could pipeline multiple HN pages (1,2,3,...) but that's exactly what pg stops you from doing with his fnid scheme.
HTTP pipelining a la the HTTP/1.1 spec works fine. No additional software from Google is needed. You don't need SPDY to get speed gains. What you need to get the benefits of pipelining are sites that have decent Max-Results settings (100 is quite common) and that have many assets you want all served from the same IP. There are lots of those sites, but HN is not one of them.
