Re: [websockets] IETF HyBi current status and next steps

Is there a deadline for protocol comments?

Based on the e-mail below, it appears the deadline is July 25. Please 
clarify.

Also, for those of us not familiar with IETF process, what is the 
relationship between the IETF's LC review and v10's "Expires: January 
12, 2012"?

-Thanks, Art Barstow
