based on slide #7 in http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/78/slides/hybi-1.pdf

as Chairs we asked for a hum on:

      (a) Do we want to support binary data and nothing else

      (b) Should we disallow binary data?

The sense of the room was to support binary data and nothing else.

However in the intensive mailing discussion of the last days people have 
explained the importance
for the Browser to support also Text and moreover to have a clear 
distinction between Text and Binary.

So unless people will raise good technical reasons against (during the 
next week):

    * both Text and Binary data will be supported
    * there will be clear distinction between Text and Binary data
