 * Provides the means to accept incoming WAMP connections.

 * 
 * In the first step the new connection requests a {@link IWampConnectionListener} interface
 * from the acceptor. The instance of the interface is not yet attached to the acceptor
 * and can be safely dropped and garbage collected.
 * 
In a second step the new connection is registered together with the received listener
 * at the acceptor.
