Comment 1 is correct.

Note that the spec does handle the blob->arraybuffer case by allowing UAs to
delay events accordingly.

Having a boolean to control whether the next packet is blob or not doesn't
really make sense for two reasons: First, the default has to be blob to avoid
big binary packets from taking memory up by default. That is, blob is the
better default. Second, it wouldn't help the problem. You don't know what the
next packet will be until you handle the message for the previous one, by which
time the UA has almost certainly already started receiving the next packet.
