How about this:

OLD
    The WebSocket XMPP sub-protocol deviates from the standard method of
    constructing and using XML streams as defined in [RFC6120] by
    adopting the message framing provided by WebSocket to delineate the
    stream open and close headers, stanzas, and other top-level stream
    elements.

NEW
    The framing method for the binding of XMPP to WebSocket differs
    from the framing method for the TCP binding as defined in [RFC6120];
    in particular, the WebSocket binding adopts the message framing
    provided by WebSocket to delineate the stream open and close
    headers, stanzas, and other top-level stream elements.
