Re: CfC: publish a Candidate Recommendation of WebSockets API; deadline Nov 9

I created the following version of the spec as the basis of the CR:

   [1] http://dev.w3.org/html5/websockets/publish/CR-websockets-2011.html

This version includes a fix for [13700] and I added a reference to 
HTML5's Parsing URLs section as requested by Julian.

The only remaining bug is [12510]. This editorial bug was reopened after 
the CfC started. If anyone thinks those references are critical, they 
should please add a diff (based on [1]) to the bug and I will add them 
before the CR is published.

[Given Doug and I are traveling next week, we must schedule and hold a 
Director's call for the CR and US national holidays at the end of the 
month, I don't expect the CR to get published for a few weeks, possibly 
December.]
