I agree that if no one else offers support, then it is by defacto
disagreed with by the current members of this WG.

Note I am trying to incite some outsiders to care:

But as I told Joe, I am not going to fight it here, I just want my
technical arguments on the record and not buried by the majority. Because
the majority here, who will get their desires any way, may or may not
reflect the majority opinion of those who will be using WebSockets for
applications and who may be very much under represented in this WG. I feel
I am here to defend the users' rights. All the best to all of you in your
efforts.
