[hybi] design space draft

[Jack Moffitt <[e-mail]>]

I just published the initial version of the design space draft:

       Title           : Design Space for Bidirectional Protocols
       Author(s)       : J. Moffitt, et al.
       Filename        : draft-ietf-hybi-design-space-00.txt
       Pages           : 9
       Date            : 2010-06-28

This draft outlines the issues and protocols that make up the general
design area of the bi-directional web.

There are a few changes from the previous version:

* I expanded on the restrictions that browser-based clients have,
including for example the fact that JavaScript has no real ability for
working with binary as anything other than blobs.
* I filled out the security considerations section with the few things
I could think of that affect current protocols. Please let me know if
there are more that I should add.
* Most areas in the previous version that were left unfinished have
been filled in (mostly examples of the various kinds of clients).

I think it would be good to get some feedback on the restrictions
placed on the protocol due to JavaScript runtimes, as I suspect these
will be important for future discussions.

Also, Julien already pointed out to me that I am referencing the wrong
document for the WebSocket protocol. I will make sure this is
corrected in the next version.
