Hi Greg,

Asking WGs to run beauty contests typically turns out to be
problematic.  I think we get better success at asking whether it's
appropriate to form a WG around a specific proposal, and that doesn't
exclude other WGs and other proposals.  It's really the WG formation
process that lets the entire IETF decide if a WG working on the
WebSocket protocol is the right thing to do.   That process does
address the merits, and it avoids the "there can be only one" fallacy.
