Is it possible to make a WebSocket connection in Silverlight? Or if not, does anyone know whether this is scheduled for future versions?

A:
Ostensibly yes.
In fact it has been used to provide a fall back solution for browsers that don't support WebSockets.
See the following for more info but note that this implementation is against v75 not v76 (latest).
