Definitely.


But just for the record (and in regard to your point about "alternative" in
other thread), I don't think I've ever thought of this as "WebSocket vs BWTP"

BWTP is currently a thought experiment with lots of possible out comes:

 a) ideas from BWTP (or elsewhere) get incorporated into websocket.
 b) BWTP (or something like it) get's built on top of websocket
 c) BWTP (or something like it) evolves into a real protocol solving
    different problems than websocket.
 d) Some other effort proves to be a better vehicle for a)-c) (maybe waka?)
 e) There is no significant interest and BWTP fades away.

I guess I've been hammering on a) a bit too much - my apologies.


cheers
