> People mean different things by realtime but when talking about it, I think it is important to keep in mind it is mostly the media that needs to be realtime and perhaps the signaling to set up such media is not as does not have the same level of constraints.

Yes, but it's not just about signaling realtime. HTTP polling means
unnecesary traffic from client to server. In the other side, WebSocket
(bidirectional communication without polling) allow the server
communicating to the client when it has something to say.

Also I expect that WebSocket will be very common and extended the day
RTCweb becomes a reality.
