[hybi] consensus call: websocketprotocol baseline

[Salvatore Loreto <[e-mail]>]

During the last IETF 77 the wg decided to use the version 75th to be 
adopted as official wg item.
That was due to the fact all the already shipped implementation (e.g. 
chrome, kaazing, jetty)
are currently based on the 75th version of the draft.
The idea was to start with a -00 version that matches what people 
shipped and then discuss what to put in -01 version.
Another reason to adopt 75th version, was that there were no official 
76th version at the time.
( Ian yesterday submitted to the IETF the 76th version of the draft:
_http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-hixie-thewebsocketprotocol-76.txt_ )
During the last weeks there as been a lot of discussion about 75th vs 76th,
and it seems that people do not think that breaking changes are a big 
problem at this stage.
So as chairs we want to check the consensus for which version (75th or 
76th) adopt as baseline of
official HyBi wg item: draft-ietf-websocketprotocol-00.

The consensus call will run until May 14th, 2010.

Then we will ask Ian Hixie to submit the version that has received the 
consensus has wg item.


best regards
