(Indeed, I continue to track all e-mails sent to this list and will reply to all substantial feedback sent to it.) As a side note, it's unclear exactly what the HyBi group is actually going to be working on. The timetable listed on the charter linked above is clearly at odds with reality; WebSocket is already shipping in Chrome and is ready to be shipped in two other browsers, and multiple servers are already available, so clearly March 2011 for a last call isn't really workable (especially since the spec reached last call at the WHATWG in 2009 -- the main thing missing now is test cases). However, I encourage anyone interested in Web Sockets to participate in the HyBi group, and indeed discussion of their timetable is probably best had there. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
