While WebSocket API is fairly stable, the discussion of underlying protocol at IETF is far from being done. It could be disruptive to ship our WebSocket implementation in a way that would effectively freeze the protocol.
One way to achieve future compatibility is by using a different scheme for WebSocket URLs - e.g. "webkit-ws:" and "webkit-wss:" instead of "ws:" and "wss:", respectively. Depending on how protocol standardization goes, we could alias these later, or add a separate standards compliant implementation.
I'm going to submit a patch to this effect, but would like to discuss the idea on the list first.
