Well there's two parts to it: the protocol, and the API. If there's an existing protocol for this and the browser vendors are interested in implementing it, I see no reason why we couldn't support this alongside the current text/event-stream-based API in the HTML standard, either as part of the same API or as a separate API (like WebSockets). If it needs a new protocol, then that should probably be addressed first. HTH, -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
