[whatwg] WebSocket restriction on the server's subprotocol

The WebSocket spec restricts the value of the subprotocol that the client
is allowed to send to the server (see step 3 in the WebSocket()
constructor algorithm). However there's no restriction on the server side
(see step 2 of Sending the server's opening handshake). The client could
not have asked for any subprotocol, but the server can still respond with
a subprotocol, and the connection will be accepted.
Shouldn't the server have the same restriction as the client?
