I disagree. Nothing is needed now, HTTP/1 is not broken and it works well enough.
There should be time enough to come up with a clean design. Even if it requires designing a new transport protocol.
Rolling out a new transport protocol like SCTP takes a lot less time than rolling out a new network protocol like IPv6. Transport protocols only runs on the endpoints, not on the routers in the network.
Except for firewalls and NAT'ing home routers, but if HTTP/1 over SCTP would result in a faster better browsing experience the problem would solve itself.
