You could just use ZMQ_STREAM to talk to a websocket client/server. IMO, 
anything beyond what is supported by 0MQ should be the job of a gateway 
worker. Websockets would be in the realm of Mongrel2, ZeroGW, Zurl, etc.

Even ZMQ_STREAM smells like feature creep ("send and receive from a 
non-0MQ peer" - what the what?). But everyone loves a good raw mode.
