My comment as individual.
I am in the WHATWG ml, but I have to say that I haven't seen any 
discussion, at least lately, on the WebSocket spec.
at least in the specification mailing list.
Actually I'd like also see more people from WHATWG community become 
involved the technical discussion that at the moment
is happening in the HyBi mailing list.

cheers
