A lot of the people on the HTTP WG would have an issue with this 
statement.
In fact there has been a lot of discussion about the evils of 
connection-oriented anything in regard to HTTP, especially around 
authentication (e.g. NTLM).
There are proxies that reuse upstream connections between different 
clients, the protocol (1.1 at least) is designed to be stateless in 
terms of each message being independent of others, whether on the same 
connection or not.
So I wouldn't start a new protocol based on the presumption that 
HTTP/HTTPS is connection-oriented and not stateless.
