I believe that the vast majority of site owners to not control
the network infrastructure within the data centre in which
they are deployed.

But even if they do control them,  I agree that the problems of
non encrypted websocket interoperability between intermediaries
are definitely solvable.  I also think they should be solved by
this WG.    If not - who else?
