IIUC, BWTP and Websocket are not really comparable, and the Websocket
API is only designed to work with the Websocket protocol (BWTP
supports metadata in every "message" for instance, which the Websocket
API wouldn't expose).

This argument will populate the "subprotocol name" of the Websocket
handshake, it's not meant to switch to BWTP or other bidirectional
protocols.
