Why not?

I think people is interested on Websocket because they will layer its
favourite protocol on top of it. I not stating I'm against this but I
still don't see this point and how it would improve the protocol...

In other words, people that cares about orderly close will use a
protocol on top of Websocket that provides graceful close (like BEEP)
and people that do not cares about this will have an additional feature
not requested....so it looks to me both kind of users won't use this.
