Just how does the viewer work?

I've been looking at the viewer example code all day and come to the conclusion that it will never actually work. Specifically the viewer example has a lot of message passing code in viewer-integr-messaging.js but if I grep the source and look at every addEventListener() call in the ./src tree I can only find one instance where it's listening for 'message' and that is in listen() in iframe-helper.js which isn't being called if there are no <amp-iframe> elements.

I confirmed this in chrome debugger by dumping all the listeners on the iframe window containing the AMP document and there is nothing there listening for messages.

What am I missing?

Viewer is not enabled quite yet and the protocol has not been standardized. We are working on it.

That explains a lot.
