BWTP mk I and BWTP mk II resulted. But now it appears that a working group cannot be formed to consider multiple solutions and that it will be free to consider any solution so long as it is websocket. Thus I've stopped efforts on developing BWTP as it appears it will be wasted effort. We are in the strange circumstance that whatwg does not want to deal with concerns other than js in browsers and the IETF does not want to consider solutions other than what the whatwg is proposing. I do feel that the process has been setup for failure and unless we can broaden the requirements or consider other alternatives then we are doomed to endless unproductive debates between people with different agendas. regards
