Missing from the above list:
- add argument to curl_ws_send to hold the FIN/RSV* flags, this would
be a repurposed flags argument

There is also a modification to the above list:

Replacing the CURLWS_OFFSET functionality does not necessarily require
a new argument. If curl_off_t is guaranteed to be signed then we could
have a negative value represent that the send is whole rather than
partial and then zero is only used for the subsequent calls for
partial frames. Alternatively we could have a curl_ws_send_partial.
