Although, I think something like this is necessary, I don't think it
can replace a lower level transport based on TCP / zmq or even Qpid Proton.

That being said, I think this work should be a bit broader and take
something like socket.io[0] under consideration instead of plain
websockets.

I see a lot of benefits from having this kind of support in Marconi,
it'll ease the integration with Horizon and other web and/or mobile
technologies.
