There is a current, not yet implemented proposal to change the type of |data| to DOMString. This also allows for cases in which the UA cannot read the message's content, which could be the case when encryption is being used. JSON data would still be perfectly possible, but it has to be deserialized before usage.
It was discussed to use ArrayBuffers for this purpose, but that makes it significantly harder to deal with data in the common case.
