Premature standardization is just cause for argument and BWTP vs. WebSocket is a false choice based (afaics from this long and interesting thread) on the fear that there is space for only one of these in the IETF stack. It's implementations that drive adoption, and standardization comes after implementation and adoption, not before. (At least in this non-consortium process.) We are arriving at consensus, which is that both WebSocket and BWTP (and other designs) are important tools for understanding the problem space. One does not choose between tools, one collects as many as possible. -Pieter
