Clearly, this is a bug in draft-ietf-core-coap-tcp-tls-07.

I have argued that underlying this is an omission in RFC 6455:

ws:/wss: URIs are translated into http:/https: URIs, and the well-known space is already reserved in the latter, so it would be nonsensical to try to use RFC 5785 /.well-known for something else in the ws:/wss: URI schemes.

Maybe there wasn’t a use case for well-known URIs in WebSockets before, but there is one now, and we would like to remedy this omission in the procedurally simplest possibly way.

So I am proposing to add RFC 5785’s well-known URI mechanism to these URI schemes in the document that needs it, draft-ietf-core-coap-tcp-tls, which by that updates RFC 6455.

Are there any objections to this procedure?
