We have a framing with fragmentation support so each application could
decide how to handle such situations (63 bit frames), in some cases
better than stream oriented API because the application can choose the
chunk size it likes where stream oriented will return what is available
at the call time...

Whatever method used by a websocket implementation (stream oriented or
message/frame notification) I believe it is a contradiction to state
websocket is protocol designed to exchange *units* as messages but not
giving required elements to handle pointed situations, forcing people to
design stream oriented, and hence, force websocket users to
piece/buffering..

At the end, someone will buffer, or the websocket engine or the
application level. I think a checked websocket implementation will
buffer better than an application on top of it so, the scaling problem,
if present, will affect both methods...
