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 Responsible Area Director.

[Ballot comment]
I was wondering about the instructions for IANA in terms of updating the registry page https://www.iana.org/assignments/websocket/websocket.xml#subprotocol-name
Simply adding the RFC-to-be in the reference, or adding some comments, or something else?
I understand that this is discussion is already taking place between IANA and the authors.
So we should be good.

(Via drafts-lastcall-comment@iana.org): IESG/Authors/WG Chairs:

IANA has completed its review of draft-hardie-rfc6455-iana-clarification-02.txt. If any part of this review is inaccurate, please let us know.

IANA has a question about the IANA Considerations section of this document.

IANA understands this document to be a clarification of the registration policy related to the Subprotocol Name Registry established by section 11.5 of [RFC6455]. In particular, IANA notes that he authors request that IANA decline registrations in the registry which differ only as to case, in order to minimize potential confusion among different registered versions.

IANA Question --> to implement this request, would the authors be willing to suggest a note that could be added to the registry so that First Come, First Served registrants can clearly see that registrations which differ only as to case are prohibited? IANA believes that such a note could easily be crafted from the language of Section 2 of the current draft.

Note:  The actions requested in this document will not be completed until the document has been approved for publication as an RFC. This message is only to confirm what actions will be performed. 


Thank you,
