> Noone is unbiased, but I'm a lot less biased than you'd think given my name is within the WS doc too and I was pretty active in attempting (and sadly failing) to get mux into the base WS functionality. :)

I think the extensibility built into WS (extensions and subprotocols) is a strength, and having a relatively simple base functionality is good. I don't want to implement MUX on an embedded device like Arduino, and I likely don't need it there anyway. Also: having implemented an automated WS protocol test suite I can say that getting good coverage of the "relatively simple base functionality" already requires a lot. Even the >300 test cases we have today don't cover 100%. I guess writing automated tests for WS-MUX / flow-control / scheduling might be a challenge;)

>Out of curiosity, and on a different topic, how large have the messages been in your applications?

I haven't don't systematic measurements / stats, but - today - probably between 20 - 20k of JSON payload with a fair amount of URIs sprinkled in.

Now that we've implemented "permessage-deflate", I'll take the chance and add some traffic stats tracking ..
