Facebook's pipelining system? How does it work?

One of the facebook developers recently posted an article describing their new approach on handling HTTP requests called BigPipe: http://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-engineering/bigpipe-pipelining-web-pages-for-high-performance/389414033919

It seems to have obvious performance advantages over the conventional way of doing it. So, is the time here for human beings to also start utilizing this feature in web application design?

Thanks
