I would do something (if possible) like:

 >Client Debugger "I want to Debug You"
 >JS App< "I'm using JSD Hands Off"
 >Client Debugger< "But I need to Debug this _myself_, I don't care who 
else is debugging".

IOW, provide an ability for a new JSD instance to cancel the old. 
Again, this is "iff possible" ('iff' spelled correctly in this case).

I do not feel supporting multiple clients is worth the effort involved,
