Hi Tim, In the (current) absence of any answers by more educated people than me, I allow myself to post to this thread.
In case you don't know, there's a sample app using channels: http://code.google.com/p/dance-dance-robot/ http://dance-dance-robot.appspot.com/ I haven't looked at the code yet, but I assume that it might answer some questions like: o uniqueness requirement for channel IDs o requirement of channel message clean-up (I assume there would be some code to be found that manages these requirements). Otherwise, if your assumptions are correct (i.e. a channel can only be connected by one single client), your strategy looks sound as far as I can tell. Even in the absence of a uniqueness requirement, it may be useful to be able to identify each client individually, at the cost of some house-keeping, of course. What I can't tell is how the quantity of opened channels scales, meaning if there's some drawback creating lots of channels. But if the channel API should be useful (which I hope), there should be no problems with using it for many clients.
