There's no lack of extensibility and negotiation, both are built into the protocol. Future versions of the protocol can simply define new option fields that the client can include to announce support and that the server can include to announce opt-in. For example, the client could say: Sec-WebSocket-Compression: gzip bzip2 ...and the server might then respond with: Sec-WebSocket-Compression: gzip ...indicating that the client and server will both compress frames using gzip. Pretty much anything can be defined; if both the client and the server opt in to a feature, nothing constrains what the protocol has to look like from then on. We could define an option that, once selected by both parties, switches the protocol to an entirely different framing mechanism, if we find that the simple framing currently in the spec isn't good enough. So long as we define all the interactions of the options, we're pretty much open to doing anything in future versions short of changing the basic shape of the handshake. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
