An alternate transport for the Matrix Client-Server API

Matrix is an open communications protocol that has many great features. However, one flaw that it has is that the baseline specification is based on long-polling HTTP requests, which is not very efficient. In order to address this deficiency, I've created a spec that presents an alternative transport for the Matrix Client-Server API that uses a protocol that was designed for real-time communications instead of using HTTP.
