-With this proposal, blocking becomes optional rather than required. Servers that do not
-want to durably persist transactions before processing them can continue to perform all
-work in-memory by continuing to block on `/send` as is done today. Additionally, a server
-that is receiving too many transactions from a given homeserver may wish to block for
-an arbitrary period of time for rate-limiting purposes, but this is not necessarily
-required.

-Another benefit is that homeservers no longer need to parse the response body at
-all and can instead just determine whether the transaction was accepted successfully
-by the HTTP status code.
