The nsIProtocolInstance class is a common interface to all protocol
functionality. This base interface will support at getting the input
stream and the outputstream for the "connection"
There are still issues on what is the most common interface for the
extreme cases of an interactive protocol like HTTP vs. events based
one like SMTP/IMAP. This interface will probably go thru some
redesigning.
