All, on the IETF Hybi mailing list there has been some discussion regarding the protocol that should carry WebSockets. There was considerable divided opinions about the style of protocol that would be most appropriate and what level of features should be supported etc. That conversation ground to a stale mate as I think considerably different view points were involved. So it was decided by some to prepare an alternate transport protocol proposal. At the very least, this proposal would serve better illustrate many of the concerns and ideas that are difficult to express in long email threads. Hopefully, this proposal may influence the eventual design of the websocket proposal, or it might grow to become a real contender as an alternative (which currently it is not - lacking vital elements such as working implementations and wide peer review). Anyway, I'd like to invite the participants of this list to give the BWTP proposal some consideration and review: http://bwtp.wikidot.com I suggest reading the rational page http://bwtp.wikidot.com/main:rational first before looking at the proposal: http://bwtp.wikidot.com/main:proposal regards
