DBUS is a good example in IMO - I'm not saying to use their impl, which doesn't fit, just the protocol spec.
The major power of AJP protocol is known-header-name indexing, and IMHO there is no other protocol that is HTTP application focused. If there is really a need for a completely new protocol, and I doubt there is a real need for that right now, we must presume that the primary intent of the protocol is to allow communication of two well known and defined http applications. In today world the major limiting factor is not processing power, but rather the network throughput, so each byte saved on the wire rises the performance. If you look at the XDR protocol, each 'string' type message is prefixed with additional two bytes compared with AJP, so beside that, the lack of header indexing would at least double the packet size, and downgrade the performance by twice.
