 * A WebChannelTransport instance represents a shared context of logical
 * connectivity between a browser client and a remote origin.
 *
 * Over a single WebChannelTransport instance, multiple WebChannels may be
 * created against different URLs, which may all share the same
 * underlying connectivity (i.e. TCP connection) whenever possible.
 *
 * When multi-domains are supported, such as CORS, multiple origins may be
 * supported over a single WebChannelTransport instance at the same time.
 *
 * Sharing between different window contexts such as tabs is not addressed
 * by WebChannelTransport. Applications may choose HTML5 shared workers
 * or other techniques to access the same transport instance
 * across different window contexts.
