Larger question:

Is backpressure the right way to slow down the sender for reasons only 
known to the application in an async-callback environment?

 From the design of the WebSockets API, I suspect that this was 
considered and answered with "no" in that group, and we should avoid 
revisiting that decision in this group.

I could be wrong.
