Nobody is ignoring the attacks on "older" protocols. Your efforts have show that with the capabilities of XHR you could almost but not quiet make a cross protocol to DNS. So we know that DNS is not vulnerable to the wide range of HTTP requests that XHR can send (eg with lots of application provided data). WebSocket uses a very specific HTTP request in it's handshake. The attacker has no control over most of the headers or the method. They can supply only a URL and a subprotocol string, but no content body. So if DNS is not vulnerable to arbitrary HTTP requests, then it is not vulnerable to this very specific HTTP request. The fact that DNS is almost vulnerable to HTTP is interesting, but not really relevant to the proposals we have to refine the WS handshake. Are you really saying that because DNS is almost vulnerable to crafted HTTP requests, that we must space inject the nonces in websocket handshakes or leave our hashes unframed?
