I don't mind trying this avenue, I just fear that this is even more likely 
to be a dead-end. HTTP is already very complicated (it would seem more so 
than XHR to me) and is much more solidified and it seems unlikely that there 
would a be solution down that path. And I don't see how it is any more 
"right" for this to be done in HTTP, The user agent needs to be informed by 
something, and I don't see a clear distinction in why it is superior to be 
informed by the HTTP response rather than API/author since this doesn't 
really affect the actual HTTP communication protocol, but when a user agent 
chooses to use an (additional) HTTP communication channel. I am concerned 
that if all parties continually come up with really good reasons to keep 
deferring this to someone else, the user with hanging requests still lose.
I am going to send out another proposal that will hopefully be more 
palatable/feasible.
Thanks,
