> If type is “ArrayBuffer”, then bytes is an array of the bytes that were in the array buffer.

Should be 'If *dataAttribute* is "ArrayBuffer"...' right?

Also, are we getting notifications at the message or frame granularity? We should definitely document this.

Lastly, I think we should spec this with markdown and include it in-tree at toolkit/devtools/server/docs/WebSocketsProtocol.md or something. This way it is more likely to stay in sync with the actual actors as they change in the future, because reviewers can require doc updates with patches.
