That’d bring us on par with the Web Sockets’ .readyState states. Are we able to map the “connecting” (and possibly “disconnecting”) states to all the underlying protocols?

As usual, without strong use cases, we should defer extra features for later. Is the “connecting animation” a must use case that the UA couldn’t implement in its chrome instead? Would that be bad UX? I’m trying to draw parallels to the loading indicator browsers have (different for each), but perhaps that’s a bad analogy.

Thanks,
