Do HTML WebSockets maintain an open connection for each client? Does this scale?

I am curious if anyone has any information about the scalability of HTML WebSockets. For everything I've read it appears that every client will maintain an open line of communication with the server. I'm just wondering how that scales and how many open WebSocket connections a server can handle. Maybe leaving those connections open isn't a problem in reality, but it feels like it is.
