Unfortunately this does not appear to be the implementation in chrome
at least.  If you step through with a debugger, then the close happens
before my ws.onclose function is assigned, as thus it is never called.

Even if it was implemented as you say, I'm wondering if the API should
be less dependent on the single threaded nature of current javascript
implementations.
