Feedback on an IETF working group internet draft goes to the IETF workgroup. Period. Feedback to whatwg that is not seen by the working group is not helpful to the draft or process. Remove mention of whatwg.

As for copies of documents being obsolete - checking a work-in-progress 'drafty draft' before emailing comments might be suggested, but really it would be necessary to push copies through the IETF drafts announcement process far more frequently.

Is the IETF just rubberstamping this work not under its control, or is this work actually done in this working group? It looks like the former.

Hello,

According to the HyBi working group charter, "The Web Socket
protocol" is considered as the input document for the working
group.  draft-ietf-hybi-thewebsocketprotocol-00 was submitted by I.
Hickson, Google, Inc. on May 23, 2010.  In the Abstract Section,
there is the following note:

   "NOTE!  THIS COPY OF THIS DOCUMENT IS OBSOLETE."

with a pointer to another specification.

There is the following Author's Note:

    This document is automatically generated from the same source
    document as the HTML specification.  [HTML]

    Please send feedback to either the hybi@ietf.org list or the
    whatwg@whatwg.org list.

The above is not what is regularly seen in a WG document.  I suggest
that the WG document be updated to reflect current IETF practices.

Regards,
-sm
