They used to be part of html5, but now are just lumped in the following group:1. Are WebSockets officially part of HTML5 ? Mike I can see the specs, yes. But this is definitely would be the most questionable HTML5 detail, it seems to me?
"Features that are not currently in this document that were in the past considered part of HTML5, or that were never part of HTML5 but have been referred to as part of HTML5 in the media."
This almost introduces synhcronous two-way sockets in the middle of totaly async www infrastructure... There is no amount of fibre today, which would be enough for all www users to connect to www with a single WebSocket from their browsers. That much is obvious. WebSockets require additional server-side configuration and setup which (for example) Appache (out of the box) does not support today. Neither does IIS, it that matters. 2. On each and every WebSockets spec, I see no other author of the spec but Ian Hickson, Google Inc. Which strikes me as odd? Is he (and Google Inc) such a capable and unqestionable WebSockets, www leader ?
He is the editor, yes.
3. This very simple question is a very big question for WebSockets future : Who and where and why, will provide full WebSockets functionality on the server side ? ( Google will because of CHROME OS ).
Cool.
