tmux only uses the socket to pass the client environment and file descriptors up to the server and for some other odds and sods like telling the client to detach and suspend. Everything else is done directly by the server. So it isn't really useful for a full terminal display.
The idea is that we'll have a special form of client which makes the server use a simple text protocol on the stdin and stdout file descriptors instead of treating them as a terminal (sort of how inetd works). This has the advantage that it'll also work over ssh.
