Why not follow existing proposals for Sockets API

[targos]

Hey, I'm sorry if this has already been discussed. I'm just wondering why an entirely new API is being designed when there is at least one existing proposal: https://wicg.github.io/direct-sockets/
Has it been considered to work with Google on that?

From what I recall there were concerns that this proposal wasn't going anywhere with objections from Firefox/Safari and others. @jasnell may be able to give more detail.
