Re: ISSUE-64: web-sockets-scope-req

OK, I've updated the text of the issue-64 description to read in full:

  Original issue description:
  [[
  IETF area directors have expressed concerns about network
  protocol specs buried in the HTML 5 specs.

  Is this something the WG supports as a requirement for this release?

  Who is interested in contributing test materials for web sockets?
  ]]

  Some clarifications (from Rob Sayre):
  [[
  http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Mar/0653.html
  Something like Web Sockets is explicitly mentioned in the charter. 
  From section 2.1 of the charter:

  "The following features are expected to be obtained by integrating
  deliverables of the Web APIs Working Group
  <http://www.w3.org/2006/webapi/>. They are listed here so that they may be
  developed in the case where the Web APIs Working Group is not able to
  produce the specifications.

     * Data storage APIs.
     * Networking APIs for server-push, asynchronous two-way
       client-server communication, peer-to-peer communication, and
       client-side cross-domain communication.

  Note that some of the features mentioned above may be obtained by
  integrating deliverables of the Web APIs Working Group."

  >>> Web Sockets API: in scope?

  The charter places it in scope. No need for a question.

  An obnoxiously literal reading could exclude this capability as a hard
  requirement, but such a reading would also preclude accepting a solution
  developed in the IETF.

  I claim that the spirit of the charter assigns the HTML WG to develop a
  solution if an acceptable solution does not emerge from elsewhere in a
  timely fashion.
