While I see interesting the case you are exposing (zillions of
connections), it does not make it a representative case at all. As you
know, good protocol design is based on function delegation: each layer
makes a particular defined function.

I still believe WS should focus more on transport features and let
application protocols on top of it to complete the work....

...because it will be always better than any solution worked by the WG.
In other words: let the people to choose what to place on top of WS.
