so we're talking about a mod_perl app that opens a file system socket in its initialization phase and listens on it with <select> and when there is something there, presents that something, possibly by redirecting to a different page that does the presentation, otherwise after timing out presents another meta-redirect back to the same page. We might want these sockets to pool, but that would be an optimization that can be deferred until it works right. Do AJAX clients handle redirects correctly? if not that's okay, just send a NOTHINGYET token and let the client explicitly retry. -- "In the case of an infinite collection, the question of the existence of a choice function is problematic"
