Hi,

another aspect of the WebSocket protocol we have to discuss is 
extensibility.
As usual here a strawman proposal just to start the discussion...


    Req. The WebSocket Protocol MUST be designed to easily support
    extensions.

    Req. The WebSocket Protocol MUST have a way to declare/negotiate
    extensions.

    Req. The WebSocket Protocol MUST be designed to easily support sub
    protocols

    Req. It SHOULD be easy for sub protocols implementing features like
             channels, multiplexing, (what else?)


please discuss extensions and subprotocols requirements (and feel free 
to suggest better text)
as usual we need to measure the level of the consensus on them

all thoughts or comments are very well welcome and appreciated.


cheers
