    <section title = "Underlying protocol">

      <t>This mapping should be layered on the top of WebSocket protocol
         as defined in RFC 6455.</t>

    <section title = "Connection initiation">

      <t>Standard WebSocket handshake is done. Sec-WebSocket-Protocol field
         MUST be set to "x-nanomsg-pair".</t>

    <section title = "Message">

      <t>SP message maps directly to WebSocket message. The message can be
         fragmented as needed. Frame boundaries are ignored by the SP
         layer.</t>

      <t>The mapping isn't intended to provide any additional security in
         addition to what WebSocket does. DoS concerns are addressed within
         the specification.</t>
