Nice, the per-frame SHA-1 is gone and no AES junk; syntax for extension 
specification in the client header is defined.  If you want to (in 
violation though) as a client you can compatibly set the frame nonce to 
00000000 and skip munging altogether.

I added in 05 framing support for client and server in libwebsockets, 
the support is:

  Server: 76/00, 04 and 05 selected dynamically per-client
  Client: 04 or 05 selectable

There's a -v switch on the test client and ping applets to set spec 
version to use, eg, -v4

Extension header should be recognized and rejected since it doesn't 
support any.

Ran out of time to do the new close stuff before "real work" must start 
but otherwise it's probably a useful sparring partner for other client 
or server implementations.
