One of the requirements of CoreIPC is that you should be able to know when the connection is closed. Just because a connection is closed doesn't mean that the process on the other end went away either, as is the case with the plug-in process.

I'd also like to see Connection::setShouldCloseConnectionOnProcessTermination to be removed. When the process is terminated, the connection should know this and close automatically.

Again, looking at the Chromium IPC:

http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/ipc/ipc_channel_posix.cc?revision=82485&view=markup

they are using a stream socket.
