Since the websockets standards are still moving target we will either have to 
delay the release or mark it experimental.

Please do. If you look at the downloads web page now while trying to assess
this open source project you will be very confused. With the addition of all the
commercial information on the asterisk.org site that kind of hides the open source side
I feel that the open source is moved to much too the back, hidden behind
commercial interests. That's no good for all of us that work with Asterisk, especially
companies that compete with Switchvox and Digium phones, but still wants to
be part of the Asterisk.org community and contribute and support the project.
