Awesome post!

Yes. I want to keep to the protocol definition as closely as possible, 
but to provide extensions to allow people to use more of the 
AMQP-specific features that are available. You're right about the 
exchange extension. So far, refreshing my memory by looking at the code, 
the extensions are:

  - "virtual-host" and "realm" headers on CONNECT, for exploiting
    RabbitMQ's implementation of AMQP's authorization features
  - "exchange" on SEND - if omitted, the default ("") exchange is used

If you have anything in mind you'd like to see added, please let me 
know. I need feedback to decide what direction to take the STOMP adapter in.

Regards,
   Tony
