Thanks for raising this, Andreas – excellent point.
The WebSockets RFC says:
These subprotocol names should be registered as per
Section 11.5. To
avoid potential collisions, it is recommended to use names that
contain the ASCII version of the domain name of the subprotocol's
originator. For example, if Example Corporation were to create a
Chat subprotocol to be implemented by many servers around the Web,
they could name it "chat.example.com". If the Example Organization
called their competing subprotocol "chat.example.org", then the two
subprotocols could be implemented by servers simultaneously, with the
server dynamically selecting which subprotocol to use based on the
value sent by the client.
Subprotocols can be versioned in backward-incompatible ways by
changing the subprotocol name, e.g., going from
"bookings.example.net" to "v2.bookings.example.net". These
subprotocols would be considered completely separate by WebSocket
clients. Backward-compatible versioning can be implemented by
reusing the same subprotocol string but carefully designing the
actual subprotocol to support this kind of extensibility.
So, the name should probably say oasis somewhere.
As for timing, I think sooner is better – the name registration is first-come-first-served so to ensure the registration is valid and obtainable before publishing
the doc with the name in it, I believe it is best to apply soon and possible update the spec reference later.
Thoughts?

Steve, Dave,
When does the IANA registration (“WebSocket Subprotocol Name”) happen - before CSD, after CSD, after CS?
Who triggers it?

Hello BINDMAPpers,
The current Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) WebSocket Binding (WSB) Version 1.0 WD07 (https://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/amqp-bindmap/download.php/52665/amqp-wsb-v1.0-wd07.doc)
is ready to move ahead to Committee Specification Draft (CSD). I would like to hold a vote for the same at next Tuesday's meeting. During that meeting, I would like someone (ideally, David Ingham) to make the following motion:
"I move that the TC approve Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) WebSocket Binding (WSB) Version 1.0 WD07 currently posted at
https://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/amqp-bindmap/download.php/52665/amqp-wsb-v1.0-wd07.doc
as a Committee Specification Draft and designate the MS-Word version of the document as authoritative."
