I also am not keen to see any unreasonable delay. But I think that many of the issues surrounding framing and extensions are now better understood and I think that it is worth while to at least revisit unresolved issues such as these to see if we can resolve them. Currently we have the assumption that if we look at a negotiated WS connection and if we know all the extensions that have been negotiated, then we will be able to decode the bytes on the wire. Unfortunately, as Brodie has pointed out, that does not hold if there is more than one extension that uses reserved bits. I think this is an oversight that must be fixed, but I'm not sure that we need additional headers etc. for it. I think it would be sufficient to say that reserved bits are allocated to extensions in the order in which the extensions are negotiated (and I don't think we need optional bits): For example: if we have 3 extensions: deflate-frame: uses 1 reserved bit sign-frame: uses 0 reserved bits mux-o-magic: users 2 reserved bits the following extension ordering mux-o-magic, sign-frame, deflate-frame then mux-o-magic would get bits RSV1 and RSV2 and defkate-frame would get RSV3 This is really just a simple convention and requires no extra bytes sent during handshake. cheers
