[w3ctag/design-reviews] Raw Sockets API (#548)

Saluton TAG!

I'm requesting a TAG review of Raw Sockets API.

The API's motivation is to support creating a web app that talks to servers and devices that have their own protocols incompatible with what’s available on the web. The web app will be able to talk to a legacy system over TCP or UDP, without requiring users to change or replace that system.
