I posted an update when HyBi 13 came out; http://www.lenholgate.com/blog/2011/09/the-websocket-protoco...

The wording was improved around the suggestion to provide only a message based API.

I think the WebSockets protocol ended up being a little more than it should have been. You have to understand that it was being pulled in all sorts of directions by the working group members and that there are good reasons for all of the parts of the protocol (though some of those parts could work better with other parts IMHO). It had to be finished at some point though and I think the working group did a good job in the end.

Personally I think it would have been better had it been explicitly stream based from a user's perspective, but then I don't have the javascript/browser background to know how foolish that probably sounds.
