<PRE>Answering my own question - multiple messages can be sent in reply by
including a list of 'reply' tuples in the websocket_handle response. I
found this by looking at cowboy_websocket_handler.erl in the source tree.
-callback websocket_handle({text | binary | ping | pong, binary()}, Req,
State)
-> {ok, Req, State}
| {ok, Req, State, hibernate}
| {reply, cowboy_websocket:frame() | [cowboy_websocket:frame()], Req,
State}
| {reply, cowboy_websocket:frame() | [cowboy_websocket:frame()], Req,
State, hibernate}
| {shutdown, Req, State}
when Req::cowboy_req:req(), State::state().
