Explain the advantages over a HTTP push?

I guess lack of file size limits is an obvious example, but HTTP could just as easily be extended.

I was looking to use the socket concurrently, it looks like with this implementation the sending of unrelated Text and Binary frames would be ill-advised. Adding this wouldn't cost much, given the overhead of WS. Add in magic numbers. { name : is 0x7b206e616d65203a for example. For binary frames the server could send a generated or static magic number to prefix every binary frame.

This project is essentially abandoned. It was an experiment that I haven't looked at in a very long time.
