Nagesh,
WebSocket is going to run into the same issues as SPDY (and as you point out, has similar benefits). The biggest difference being the lack of headers in WebSockets, which is going to have a much bigger impact on infrastructure (network and server) as all objects must be inspected to determine their content-types...
I have discussed HTML5/WebSockets in the past here: https://devcentral.f5.com/s/articles/oops-html5-does-it-again and here: https://devcentral.f5.com/s/articles/html5-web-sockets-changes-the-scalability-game
but you raise a valid point, it may be time to compare to SPDY and S+M, which are similar in core premises.
Thanks!
