During the October 31 meeting [1], there was agreement to publish a
Candidate Recommendation of the WebSockets API and this is a Call for
Consensus to do so:

That specification has a new section "Parsing Websocket URLs" which is
broken in that it references algorithms in other specs without saying
so (see Anne's explanation from yesterday).
It does say so, right in the dependency section.

That section says:
"2.1 Dependencies
This specification relies on several other underlying specifications.
HTML
Many fundamental concepts from HTML are used by this specification.
[HTML]
WebIDL
The IDL blocks in this specification use the semantics of the
WebIDL specification. [WEBIDL]"
How is a reader supposed to know that "resolve a URL", printed in bold,
refers to a very specific algorithm in the HTML spec?
