Technical Summary
This document clarifies the instructions to IANA for the sub-protocol
registry set up for Websockets in RFC 6455.
Working Group Summary
The reason for concerns being raised was that the registry is being reused
by the RTCWEB WG's datachannel protocol.
This is not a WG document, however it was discussed on the HYBI mailing list
where RFC 6455 was discussed, as well as on the RTCWEB WG list.
There is the HYBI mailing list consensus behind this draft.
Document Quality
Implementors of WebSocket specification (RFC 6455) commented on this
proposal and support it. This document is purely about IANA procedure and it
doesn't require any changes to existing implementations.
Personnel
Harald Alvestrand is the Document Shepherd. Alexey Melnikov is the
