Conceptually -- data carousels are "constantly refreshed client-side caches
of broadcast data objects".  Think of tuning in to a TV channel -- if it is
a web page -- how often does the web page have to be rebroadcast so you can
see it when you tune into it?  Does all of the page have to be rebroadcast
every second?  how about just the top level page more often, with images
refreshed every few seconds (for example..)
