Unfortunately, extended CONNECT was defined -- in both cases -- in documents that also defined WebSockets use of extended CONNECT.  But this is a generic capability, not specific to WebSockets, so it might be a bit misleading to mention WebSockets.

Good point.  We need to be clearer.  If you buffer, then you can set a limit in bytes (when I have X bytes, continue) or time (after X milliseconds, continue).  The former condition is not guaranteed to ever trigger, whereas the latter is, so we should insist that a limit in time be mandatory, a limit in bytes is optional.

Done for both.
