The HTTP-NG effort (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/HTTP-NG/) is working on factoring HTTP-NG into three layers, the lower two of which seem to be what you're asking for.  I think you should be asking for something less elaborate, rather than more elaborate, than HTTP/1 --- and the lower two layers of HTTP-NG should give you that.
