@Tato, WebSocket is specified by Google Inc, and (surpise?) it works

This isn't quite true. WebSockets are being specced both in the W3C and
WHATWG, and is not a Google product despite their early implementation.
Google has a plan to have 100% HTML5 compliant
browser to act as the only front end to its OS. In that context
WebSockets are a necessity. And (surprise?) CHROME OS will be talking
only with Goggle servers which will support WebSockets.
This is not rendering WebSokcets as useless, It is only showing you
the reality in which MSFT, Mozilla and Opera can be less than
enthusiastic about WebSockets.
Mozilla has made some good progress towards an implementation. You can
follow this BugZilla ticket:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=472529
The WHATWG wiki also states that there is work underway for
Safari/Webkit--without a linked ticket:
http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/Implementations_in_Web_browsers#Web_Sockets
Also, Web Sockets is two standalone specifications, and no longer
part of HTML5 ...
