HTTP Asynchronous Client Notifications (draft paper)

One of the interesting challenges with SOAP and the XML Protocol is how to
transport events and other asynchronous notifications from components that
reside on an HTTP origin server to a client.

There is a draft discussion paper that examines a range of techniques at:

  http://www.clipcode.com/peer/index.htm

and a summary diagram is at:

I would be interested in hearing (a) if there are any other techniques in
use, and (b) if anyone has had positive / negative experiences with any of
these techniques?
