The notes really do need to be cleaned up to be made explicit. Like WTH does
this actually say? 

"The fail the WebSocket connection algorithm invokes the close the WebSocket
connection algorithm, which then establishes that the WebSocket connection is
closed, which fires the close event as described"

I think it should read:

"The [WebSocket Failure Algorithm] invokes the [WebSocket Close Algorithm],
which then establishes that the WebSocket connection is closed, which then
fires the close event."

Comment 1 Aryeh Gregor 2011-07-06 21:09:27 UTC 
This is confusing because <i> is being used in a note to set off the algorithm name, but it has no effect there.  Maybe .note i { font-style: normal }?

Status: Partially Accepted
Change Description: style change
Rationale: I adjusted the styles as suggested in comment 1. Changing the names of the algorithms doesn't work since they're defined in the protocol spec.
