Sure now, the simple demo is an echo server; which is not such a good demo for websockets. Echo is a request-response operation - which is obviously not the advancement websockets provide. It's what other demos did, because building an echo takes no time or effort. I've been too busy with the tech. framework to build apps. - even better demo apps.
It means I can use websockets to construct or modify web pages without renewing the page and this could lead to a better demo that's easy to build. I like anything that allows me to inject into web pages without renewing the whole page (or frame) like other techniques require. I actually hate watching the whole page renew for some small change in page content. I've been saying that websockets will allow the browser to operate as an interface for real applications. Now it's becoming clear to me that I can think of the browser more like any other application component, but one with a lot of support for display. I suppose I didn't think of this before because my mind has become so heavily trained to focus on one thing at a time to get through the load of technical details I have to do. And the real-world model I've been keeping in my head has to do with robot control and a robot and reporting things back to the browser / operator. I've been working with that example for years and have always done all the dHTML control in JavaScript in the browser with text messages from the robot to provide any data the robot wanted to send. I guess I can understand why you might think it odd that I was surprised by what the browser did. It's something I've done in dHTML / JavaScript many times before. But the dHTML interface ("framework") in the demo is extremely simple, general, generic. This leads me to think I can go farther in creating a reusuable web page ("framework") and keep all the application specific logic in dynamically selectable "expert" components (HLL style). I'll stop now, instead of writing whole new design and project documents. Not sure I really got my point across. I suppose I should not have been surprised in the first place and the effect has to do with a lot of stuff in my head that I've wanted to do and why I've been so enthusiastic about websockets that I'm not sure I can briefly explain without giving a lot of thought to how to explain it.

Yeah, it's just spitting the html back and displaying the embed. That doesn't have anything to do with websockets at all.
