        Great :-) I hope you have the latest master gtk+ from ~today - with my
WebSockets work in, so it will work with any browser.

        Good.

        That's correct.

        Nope, thus far - not yet; if you set BROADWAY_DISPLAY you can run
multiple single-connection servers at once; but - clearly, more work is
required to add wrappers to do connection management, authentication,
security, etc. [ and perhaps more amusingly shared document rendering /
editing between multiple connections ]
