Interesting.

I'm basically using engine.io as a simple stream. I've written several modules 
for the features that I need on top of that stream but I would like to see what 
it looks like if I went and replaced the underlying engine.io stream.

Would be cool if the underlying transport was abstracted similarly to 
engine.io, I'd strongly consider switching since I'm equally perplexed by a lot 
of the code in engine.io and I'm only using longpoll.
