No known issues or limitations but the JSR-356 will be ported to 7.0.x
and the current WebSocket implementation deprecated shortly (hopefully
in the next few weeks).

It should scale but won't scale as well as the JSR-356 implementation is
the current Tomcat 7 implementation is blocking within a frame.

I don't have any references for that but will be adding something to the
unit tests.
