Re: [rtcweb] Sub-protocol registry update

This looks fine.  I checked.

I shouldn't have checked.

"(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻)" is a valid subprotocol name according to both the
WebRTC spec and draft-ietf-rtcweb-data-protocol-09.  However, this is
not permitted in thewebsocketprotocol.  RFC 6455 says that I can't
register it, but what happens if I try to use it?

FWIW, I have no problem whatsoever with the protocol accepting more
values than might be permitted elsewhere.  But we should confirm that
this is fine; acknowledging the highly advanced state of the protocol
document (RFC editor queue, MISSREF).

Maybe our friends in the WebRTC WG in the W3C (whoever they are)
should address this.
