My impression is that I have not seen much request for WebSocket multiplexing.
Given the complexities related to defining and implementing ws mux
correctly, and considering that HTTP/2.0 comes with mux built-in,
building on the SPDY experience, my preference would be to
deprioritize ws mux in favour of HTTP/2.0 integration.
It is true that there may be systems that may rely on a pure-ws
communication (and therefore do not need a full HTTP/2.0
implementation) and as such would benefit from ws mux, but my guess is
that those system will be a minority or can get by without ws mux. I
may be biased on this view though, so comments welcome.

Thanks !
