i have been looking into this world for some time now, and haven't yet
come up with a clean way of exposing this layer to CFML.

Just a thought, if you would be working on top of Jetty, you might
want to consider looking into it's support for websockets/cometD
(although that would require a fair bit of java cfscripting), as that
means you don't need to poll the server, but rather you push out the
new messages from the server to the clients (well, if their browsers
support the websocket protocol it will be a real push, otherwise it's
a as fast as a push, but it actually uses long polling (or in netscape
and firefox it uses x-mixed-replace)). Or move away from coldfusion
entirely and use something like node.js and you will be up and running
in a few hours :P (either with comet technologies (see socket.io) or
with long polling (see chat.nodejs.org inc. source code) ) .
