The IETF is just a bunch of open mailing lists, there's no "they" that doesn't include us. The WebSocket protocol is pretty stable at this point. I doubt it will change much. The recent IETF meeting indicated that most people agree that we want something like WebSockets, and it has already received several years of public review. I wouldn't worry about changing the schemes or anything like that; if the protocol _does_ change in non-backwards-compatible ways, then we'll just change the protocol to not step on this code. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
