What is WCF? World Coffee Foundation? Wee C Functions? We Crave Freedom?

No where near as interesting. Windows Communication Foundation - a networking stack for .NET. Sorry.

Why don't they just implement the accepted WebSocket standard instead of their own competing API?

The WebSocket protocol is still very much in flux. This drop is only to give an idea of the server side API would look like (I think anyways). I imagine as the protocol calms down they'll implement whatever's decided on.

I'm not sure if you'd really call it 'in flux'.

We've been using websocket for over a year now on Mibbit. I think around 20% of our users currently do websocket.

Fair enough to wait and see though, hopefully they'll do it the same way everyone else has.

I don't understand your question. Where do you see a "competing API"?
