Re: [W3C Sys Apps]: New version of Raw Socket API proposal

Some quick comments:

* Since you switch to constructor usage (great!) why not have two types:
TcpSocket and UdpSocket, so that the methods that only apply to one type
are not defined?  Also, the constructor RawSocket('tcp') seems less nice
than just TcpSocket().
* close() replacing disconnect/destroy: The state of the RawSocket after
construction but before connect is different than the state after a close()
call.  Also, it is not clear if close() should be called with udp sockets
that don't issue a connect().  I think that combining the concept of
disconnect/destroy should be well thought out first.
* recvFrom: if you do not support buffer size, the developer will have to
do their own buffer management.  The callback does not need to be called
with each datagram received, the payload may be buffered or sliced up.
