It doesn't appear that this is supported on windows. Do we want reduced functionality on Windows until it gets fixed?
It's unlikely to get fixed.

Frankly, I'm with JonCruz on this one -- socket windows are the wrong way to go about this conceptually anyway, in general.
We want something more semantically rich. To begin with, something simple and more domain-specific might be appropriate, rather than trying to implement XBL+XUL or something (I'd kind of like to get our XML infrastructure cleaned up a LOT first...).
