You might consider contributing to web-socket-js (
https://github.com/gimite/web-socket-js) which is a Flash implementation of
the older 03 protocol. It is basically a drop in emulator for browsers
without WebSockets (but that have Flash) and supports WSS (I added the SSL
support to it a while ago). There are quite a few projects that already
incorporate web-socket-js (Socket.IO, my own noVNC client, etc) so
contributing to that would probably have more bang for the buck for
everyone. If you or gimite don't implement 06/07 in web-socket-js then I
will probably end up doing it but it might be a while before I get the
chance to do so.
