Please don't cross-post to the WHATWG list -- it causes threads to 
fragment since not everyone is subscribed to both lists and the WHATWG 
list rejects non-subscriber posts.

As I recall, the suggestion was for the W3C to work with the WHATWG on the 
API spec, and for the IETF to work with the WHATWG on the protocol spec. 
Certainly I do not recall any communication from the IETF to the WHATWG to 
the effect that the WHATWG should stop working on or publishing the 
WebSocket protocol spec. Indeed I was quite shocked to see my feedback to 
this effect be ignored and the charter be published with no mention of 
cooperation with the WHATWG, and with a ridiculous timeline that has us 
going back to requirements and only reaching last call in March 2011, when 
the spec in question has, as I mentioned in my e-mail to the WHATWG 
earlier, already reached last call as of October last year. I was even 
more shocked to see no mention of a test suite, which is really the only 
time-consuming thing that really remains to be done at this point.
