Tim, While at this point, all the CometActor stuff is associated with screen real estate in a browser, that's not a requirement for using CometActors. CometActors can communicate via XHTML, JavaScript or both (yes, we can extend this to support JSON as well). The value that the CometActors bring to the table and why they would be especially valuable for the Cappuccino related work is that they can multiplex many different components through 1 HTTP request pipe.
So, yes, we need a REST long poll facility for HTTP clients that want to do long polling, but do not want to monitor more than 1 thing. The application for that has been in ESME and in ESME, I just hard-coded a thread stealing wait as a place holder. But for your application, we need to develop example code to demonstrate an HTML-less CometActor that hooks into the Cappuccino stuff.
