>>- Now the order of extensions in Sec-WebSocket-Extensions determines where those extensions are applied to frames (before or after (de)multiplexing)

Huh. _Order is significant_ ??

Is that even supported by the WS base spec? If so, is there precedence with other HTTP headers introducing order sign.?

Somehow I feel uncomfortable with introducing order sign. in a header .. 

And what if Sec-WebSocket-Extensions header appears more than once (don't remember right now
if thats allowed for that specific header)? If so, aren't intermediaries allowed to reorder headers?
