Re: [hybi] consensus call: websocketprotocol baseline

I'm fine with adopting either draft. It's much more important to adopt a 
draft as a baseline quickly and then work on it than to make a big deal 
out of which draft to adopt as a baseline.

Also, while on controversial issue, it is very important that the chairs 
assess consensus and direct the editor, I think we shouldn't take this 
too far and put up every little wording issue for a WG consensus call.

Also, I would personally be absolutely fine with the/an editor to put 
some textual proposals into a new draft without necessarily checking all 
the details beforehand with the WG, if such new text is editorial only 
or if it is properly marked in the draft (e.g. with NEW PROPOSAL or 
ISSUE or whatever). I have seen quite a few WGs where that worked out 
fine. Of course, I leave it to the chairs how to handle this.

Regards,   Martin.
