<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)
	-&gt; {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().
