I, for one, would be pretty disappointed if that were the case. Last I 
checked, the Javascript WS API still only provided a subset of 6455, and 
browsers are not the only clients I care about.

I want the "actual game" to be "provide a transport over h2 that 
provides the same semantics as the WebSocket protocol", so that existing 
clients of WS subprotocols can be switched over to the new transport 
without modifications to their business logic.
