I think my term "non-standard" is too strong, I meant it would not be 
good (in my opinion) that
each spec which uses ws-eventing (standard or otherwise)  defines its 
own Mode extension
rather than getting the functions required by composing with ws* standards (
such as make connection, reliable messageing)

While I am a member of the ws man wg, this is not an official position 
of the wg.   However,
there is a strong expectation by ws-man members that the ws man v2 would 
be based on the w3c recs which will result from this w3c ws-ra group and 
other ws-* standards from oasis.
