IMHO it makes no difference to authors if they have to use "webkit-ws:" or
"ws:" -- either way, they might come to depend on it, and either way if
other browsers want to be compatible with code written for us, they have
to use the same value.
The features where we have the webkit- prefix are CSS properties and
values. There, there's no problem with each browser vendor doing their own
extension, since you can list multiple properties. This doesn't apply to
URLs like here.
