The AJAX disconnect and reconnect option is not all that difficult. While it's certainly nice to do push, the limitation is certainly understandable from a billed-resources perspective.
Basically, to do it, you build into your AJAX request handlers a setTimeout command which queues up a request for a new connection in X milliseconds. To make it easier, I even recommend pushing request parameters onto a stack, and then having a "run queue" function that's executed periodically. That 'rq' function pops out whatever's on the stack and uses it to determine what sort of job needs to be done. That might be updating a display, doing an AJAX request, saving work in progress, issuing an alert to the user. It's a nice way to manage tasks.
