Details

We should do this ASAP, so we'll have fewer changes to make when the final version of the spec is released. But I'm not sure we ever want to ship a ws-17 implementation--may depend on what other browsers choose to do, and/or whether we're willing to implement support for multiple version of the spec via the Sec-WebSocket-Version header.
Draft-17 has moved to proposed standard and is in the RFC Editor's queue for some IANA registrations right now. This is the stable IETF standard for the websocket protocol and what we want to implement unprefixed. It's sec-websocket-version header is 13. There is no need to be backwards compatible with old prefixed imlpementations based on work in progress drafts. That's kinda the point of prefixing them - to not fragment the internet with upgrades. But it is important to get this out quickly so that implementors don't depend on those old versions.
