WS and WSS will become more and more commonplace over time. I like that a 25+ year old protocol is forward compatible enough to accommodate new methods of network communication. It could be debatable whether HTTPS and WSS are necessary for a URL but they give a hard guarantee that a secure connection will be made and not silently downgraded for those who care about such things.
