People should suggest specific close codes on the mailing list and, ideally,
suggest their description.

For codes recommended this week or next (basically before the final RFC is
published), there is a good chance that they can be included directly into
the RFC-to-be.

Close codes suggested later can still be added to the registry (they will
need a review by a yet-to-be-appointed Expert Reviewer -- IESG will take
care of this), but they will not appear in the RFC.

All of the codes will be seen in the IANA registry (<
http://www.iana.org/assignments/websocket/websocket.xml>)

Agreed.
