COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I have a couple of questions on authentication in this draft.

Does this text,

      Since the WebSocket API does not distinguish between certificate
      errors and other kinds of failure to establish a connection, it
is
      expected that browser vendors will warn end users directly of any
      kind of problem with the server certificate.

apply to any WebSocket-based application?

In this text,

   A floor control server that receives a message over TCP/WS can
   request the use of TCP/WSS by generating an Error message, as
   described in Section 13.8 of [I-D.ietf-bfcpbis-rfc4582bis], with an
   Error code with a value of 9 (use TLS).

is "request" the right word? Or is "require" more accurate, if the server
isn't going to establish a TCP/WS connection?
