HTML5 is mostly transport-layer agnostic.

I am not sure why we are going through this theoretical side-quest on  
where we should state what browsers are required to implement from HTTP to  
function. The HTTP protocol has its own set of problems and this is all  
largely orthogonal to what we should do with the WebSocket protocol and  
API.

If you do not think this particular extension makes sense raise it as a  
last call issue with the WebSocket protocol and ask for the API to require  
implementations to not support it. Lets not meta-argue about this.
